Lion Dance



If in Brazil you have the Samba schools training all year for the Carnival, here you have tons of Lion Dance schools. You can see them moving in their trucks all around the city. But these past weeks you really feel their presence drastically intensified. There are also a few preview parades and everyone is getting ready for the BIG one starting tonight for the Chingay festival dubbed Asia's grandest street & floats parade, officially the biggest New Year's event celebrated to welcome the arrival of Spring. Spring? What is spring in Singapore? Is there really any such season as spring?
