Kung Hee Fat Choy!

Happy Chinese New Year! In hawaii it's celebrated in a big way. Schools have parties, and chinatown has a celebration all weekend where a lion goes around to all the stores. Alekisio had a lion dance at his school. We learned the difference between a lion and a dragon is a lion only has two people inside and its nose is green because it eats money. It was really cool, and the tail was hilarious because when they would stand still to eat the kid's money the guy in the tail would bounce it around. I tried to upload the video but it wouldn't work. There was a little girl in another class that was so brave. Her whole body was shaking the whole time the dragon was by her because she was so scared but she still stuck the money in his mouth.
