The fancier term is serpentine locomotion, also called lateral undulation \u2013  a side-to-side movement created when the snake\u2019s body forms S-shaped loops. Yes, next week on January 29, Chinese all over the world will usher in the Year of the Wood Snake \u2013 and there are plenty of predictions out there as to what this reptile will bring us. One almanac I came across says it \u201cpromises slow and steady development\u201d and adds that \u201cthose who are patient, strategic and willing to embrace the Snake\u2019s wisdom will find they can thrive by adapting to a slower pace in all aspects of life\u201d. So even the Chinese \u201cfeng shui\u201d masters are supporting the notion of slow travel or silent travel as some industry leaders had predicted in the Year in Review articles on our site.
