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.

Lion Dance and Firecrackers at the Hong Kong Market in Houston for Chinese New Year

War is over so get over it and have a laugh at the way we used to be cause if someone wrote such a song today, there’d probably be a lot of backlash rather than laughter!
