农历新年 - Happy New Year... again

The year of the rat is upon us, and to celebrate, half of Paris decided to follow us down to the 13th where dragons and lions took to the streets, and of course the obligatory crackers filled the air. Was good fun, maybe not for the claustrophobic amongst us, nor perhaps if you're that guy bending over at the back of the dragon, but hey, even dragons need backsides.





















Hmmm, that's not very Chinese, seems like the Thai got in on the act a too, good excuse for a party. They did add a certain elegance.









































A sparkly dragon:





















No not another dragon, she actually looked quite sweet.





















A little Lion, furry one





















and a green-eyed one





















and what seems like a dragon impersonation





















All gone! Post party streets...





















Have a wonderful year of the rat.

p.s. not sure about those Chinese letters in the heading, but Wiki says so, so it must be true.
