Year of the Dragon

The celebrations for the Chinese New Year have already begun in Soho London. On the eve of the year of the dragon there were the usual dragon dances as seen at most Chinese festivals, there are all manner of dragons on sale as well. I was rather taken with this gold dragon hat the man above is wearing.
This weekend there will be a big parade in Chinatown and lots of festivities in Trafalgar Square.

The Year of the Tiger

These tiger cubs in China Town were learning about all things Chinese. Chinese advice for new years day?
It is beneficial to celebrate and be happy. Refrain from scowling, quarreling or criticizing anyone.
Sounds like good all year round advice to me.
