New Year Lions Backstage 你好

A  L  O  H  A - Nihau - 你好

We see and taste,
and live China's culture
all over Honolulu,
all through Hawaii.





 Chinese New Year
  is a special time of year to me.






We Hear it,
See it, Taste it,
and 
SMELL it!










































End of a Long Day - Heads OFF!
 Not ALL
 of the lion dancers are teens, 
OR Chinese.







 "Secret Alley" 
Chinese Cultural Center, Chinatown Honolulu











Lions in ones and twos,
retreated behind a closed door
while I took the shot 
above this one
(and some in our party
drank some "Alley Beers")
I snuck the door open a 
crack and found
the secret Lion Store Room!


The Year of the Wood Horse
starts Jan 31st.

Honolulu is just
getting started


GUNG HEE FAT CHOY!

Wishing YOU
the best year yet!
