Chinese New Year 2011

We just returned from Victoria Park on Hong Kong Island, there was a massive celebration going on for Chinese New Year.  We wanted to check out all that was going on, there were tons of people and stalls selling all kinds of stuff.  Everything from octopus tentacles to Angry Birds stuffed toys and peach tree branches were available. 

I took a bunch of video of the Dragon Dances and Lion Dances that I'm uploading to Youtube right now, I'll post them tomorrow morning. Here are some pictures though

This dude is really luck with those pinwheels

Pinwheels for good luck
