Chinese New Year

These guys are doing a lion dance and dragon dance for our local neighbors.  You are supposed to have good luck if you have a dance done during Chinese New Year (CNY).  Most stores, places of business will pay to have them done.  
These pole were used to dance on. Tyson said they jumped (there are 2 people in the lion costume) from the poles to the ground. I missed it since I was cleaning up after Ashton b-day.

This is the same house these people are doing the dragon dance.  That is Ashton with his helmet on roller blading.

Here they are going into the house.

Here we are watching.
This is the dragon dance.
Forgot to flip this one. It is the year of the rabbit so this pore kid had to walk around in the outfit. Remember we are always around 90 degrees +/- 5 year round plus major humidity.

I love learning about the different cultures and things that you experience there. Thanks for posting stuff like this. I wouldn't mind 90 degree weather right now!
