This was a Lion Dance over 20 minutes long that I captured at the Vietnamese Buddhist Centre in Houston, on January 22nd, 2012, just before midnight to usher in Chinese New Year.

The Dragon Dance is a traditional Chinese dance performed at festivals. I captured this with my GoPro cam at the Hong Kong Market on January 28th, 2012, for Chinese New Year. It happens to be the Chinese Year of the Dragon.
I was recently in Houston, Texas, to enjoy the Chinese New Year full on given the large Southeast Asian community there. This was a lion dance video I captured with my GoPro Cam while I was there on January 28th. While it was going on, they also lit a whole whack of “mouse” firecrackers, which were supposedly “quiet” relative to the real big stuff they use in Asia. Unfortunately, I couldn’t simulate it for you because even if you turned your stereo up full blast, it would not be as loud as these “mouse” firecrackers!
