Dancing Lions make me smile no matter how many I see. So I love the Chinese New Year Parade. I'll be happy Salsa dancing with the Lions. But it's more than just the colorful, energetic dancing lions. Embracing multiculture here in Vancouver, you get a great feeling of community, Chinese and non-Chinese, watching the parade. Expect 100,000 spectators, firecrackers and good food to be in abundance in Chinatown. Quite plentiful -- over 50 traditional lion dance teams participate. The year of The Ox falls on January 26, 2009, with 15 days of celebration.
The Ox is the sign of prosperity through fortitude and hard work. Gong Hei Fat Choi! Lots of love and good lucks!
