The estate organized a Lion Dance for all residence on the 3rd day of the Chinese New Year. We all went down to watch, had relative over for the special occassion as well. Here are the kids with their uncle and aunt. Those orangesseem to be a favourite with them the kids for some reason like to carry the oanges around.
But once the noise started little Natalie did not like it very much and had to go upstairs. The Lions did their walk in from the man entrance they even did some welcome dance at the etrance I beleive.
There was even this Character, bot sure what he was but I think the God of Fortunue of somethig like that who went around giving out sweets. The second act after the Lions Entry dance (which incidentally halted all entry and exit to the estate for a couple of minutes) was the round the pool walk and getting the veggie which was tied up high. Great job of getting it down from the performers. Next highlight was the peeling the orange and those lucky banner stuff. Had it along the pool area so the Lion had to cross the stepping stones to get to the tray, sit down and started to form the good luck words. (or lucky numbers in some cases)
Well in the end they did not mke a word but an animal, this being the Year of the Rabbit, they did a rabbit image with the oranges !! Some people think it's a Pokemon ha ha .... :)
In the end Nigel got to get up close and personal with the Lions, he kind of enjoyed it !
