A new friend at work, Yovi (like Yogi the bear but with a v) sent me a skype message that said "have you seen a lion dance?" I thought, hmmmm, is that a movie? She sent me a piture and said lets go this weekend. So last Sunday she took me to a celebration. It was the celebration of the chinese year of the pig with dancing lions, dragons that chase balls and red envelopes with money. I'll have to do a little reading to understand the significance of what we watched. It was pretty cool. Actaully it was pretty incredible, as pupetts with two individuals inside, the lions were very animated creatures. I took lots of pictures but the pictures don't do the movement of the lions justice. The little boy in the head of the little red lion was the cutest. He was very into the performance. He also go stuck inside the head a couple of times. Well, take a look at the pictures and go to one of these celebrations next year!
