Happy New Year! We have many New Years in Asia. Today is Chinese New Year and we got to see the Lion Dance at the mall. There were three technicolor lions, each manned by two guys in sneakers. They would dance from shop to shop, bowing and scraping. In each shop it would rear up to grab a small red envelope with money in it that was hanging from the ceiling. The guy manning the head end had to try to get the head up close enough to grab the envelope in the mouth. Shop keepers cooperate of course because its supposed to bring good luck when the lion gets a gift.
Some of the lions look more like dragons to me, but what do I know? Here's one head on.
Is this guy being chased????
