Kung Hei Fat Choi!

This is a photo of a dragon dance, done every chinese new year in places where chinese abound...mainly china town and big chinese business areas. Since most big businesses here are owned by chinese, you can practically see dragon dance being held anywhere, even malls. Was driving yesterday near Paco and chanced upon this one going around the street...so I stopped for a photo.

Today is their big day so naturally...here comes the greeting...

Wishing you all a big WOOF this year of the dog!

FYI...Kung Hei Fat Choi is how chinese greet each other this new year. It's pronounced Kiong Hee Huat Tsai.
