Chinese New Year

Today, I witnessed the festivity of the local Chinese people (from my office balcony) who took out a colorful procession to usher in the new year, the year of the rat. I saw the dragon dance from close quarters for the first time. I regret not having a camera with me at that that point of time or else I could have captured some beautiful moments of the celebration. Overall, it was a nice experience, albeit of a hatke type.
