On the 3rd day of Chinese New Year, we hosted a lunch at our home for friends and relatives. The highlight of the day was the performance of a Lion Troupe that could bring everyone prosperity, good luck and peace.
Lunch-buffet style.
A full house.
Our grand nephews.
The Lion dance troupe arrived after lunch.
With the sound of drum, cymbals and gong, these "Golden lions" greeted everybody.
Iphones,Ipads, Samsungs and Digital cameras... all zooming in on the "Lions"
The younger amateurs
It took about 15 minutes to end the greeting session. Show time would be next.
This "Lion" had to go through the imaginary barriers (the benches) to eat the oranges, drink the beers before getting to the "green".
Beers, oranges and the "green" (Pomelo set) for the lion
