Chinese Lion Dances in Freshwater

Our local branch of Hong Kong Express in Freshwater celebrated the Chinese new year yesterday with a Lion Dance. The lion dance is believed to bring good luck and fortune to the business. A good crowd gathered in the village and the restaurant to witness the dance despite the cold.

This year is the year of the rabbit. Traditionally people born in the Year of the Rabbit are articulate, talented, and ambitious. They are virtuous, reserved, and have excellent taste. Rabbit people are admired, trusted, and are often financially lucky. They are fond of gossip but are tactful and generally kind. Rabbit people seldom lose their temper. They are clever at business and being conscientious, never back out of a contract. They would make good gamblers for they have the uncanny gift of choosing the right thing. However, they seldom gamble, as they are conservative and wise. They are most compatible with those born in the years of the Sheep, Pig, and Dog.
