Chinese New Year's Eve

Caught the dragon dance in Chinatown this evening and enjoyed watching the dragon follow the pearl of wisdom. Chinese dragons are luck bringers designed to scare away evil spirits. Living in Japan, scaring away bad luck and evil spirits appears to be a regular event in one form or another so there is hope for me yet! ;)

If you ignore the dragon, it will eat you. If you try to confront the dragon it will overpower you. If you ride the dragon, you will take advantage of its might and power.
