Lion Dance

I met a friend for breakfast at the local neighbourhood restaurant.  We were enjoying our meal and conversation and then all of a sudden a loud clanging and drumming interrupted us.  I screamed, because it scared me.  But it was only a lion dance.  The martial art companies train to do lion dancing and drumming and then at the new year time get hired to perform around Hong Kong.  It was quite the show.  After the dance the lions came into the restaurant and people would give them red packets and have their picture taken with them.
