Gung Hay Fat Choy!
Yippee! It's the Year of the Dog! Our police force started a Lion Dance team, and debuted at our Chinese New Year parade today, and our mayor handed out loads of red envelopes.
Lion Dancing is damn cool; here's some competition footage.

Your post had me thinking I'd missed the local Golden Dragon parade, yet again. But no, fortunately it's not until next weekend. Happy Year of the Dog to everyone!

Back when I worked in the food service industry, always attended the New Year's celebrations at the nearby area full of chinese restaurants. Good memories; the dragons, the firecrackers, the beautiful dancers. And honey duck. Mmmh.
