This blog began in late 2006 with the planning and preparation for a circumnavigation of the world in my 39-foot sail boat Pachuca. It then covered a successful 5-year circumnavigation that ended in April 2013. The blog now covers life with Pachuca back home in Australia.

Chinese New Year Parade - 3, Dragons and Drums





The top photo shows the laughing reactions to the antics of the playful dragons.

The second hand shows Brenda's hand deep in a dragon's mouth. It is considered good luck to feed the dragon money and this one found a $1 bill to be very tasty.

There is a delightful one further down of a child getting up close and personal with a dragon.

Below that is a photo of the percussion teams that were interspersed throughout the parade.

The last photo is of a sort of serpent dragon which could curl and gyrate at dizzying speed.
