Year of the Dragon


The Year of the Dragon decorations are all over HK, just like our Christmas decorations. This display was in a office tower plaza. the bushes in the foreground have real Mandarin oranges on them which is a common decoration, as are dragons and red and gold signs and banners. Very festive. We also saw some high school kids acting out in dragon costumes to the tune of drums and cymbals. They seemed to be having a lot of fun. Getting around HK is quite easy, the people are friendly, and the apartment buildings are very tall since land is scarce. Many modern sky scrapers, lots of traffic on multilevel highways running through the city, choices of trams, buses, taxis or subways. A large, busy, international city.
