Traditionally, Chinese New Year involves a Lion Dance. The apartment complex I was staying at had a dance troop come in to perform, which was a neat surprise.
The performers were incredible, leaping from these tall posts as a unit under the lion outfit...
The lion then visits each of the viewers to receive a "red packet".
Into the lions mouth with the packet...chomp chomp!
A smaller red dragon then went around to each part of the complex to bless it for the New Year.
And then more food. Lots more food.
