Happy Chinese New Year! (Gong Xi Fa Chai)

By Danny Squire

Hey Kids! Danny here … I just wanted to give you a little update of my own. Malaysia has a large population of Chinese people, and right now they are wrapping up their Chinese New Year celebrations. Yesterday while Dr. Kingston and I were running around in KL we got to see a traditional Chinese Lion dance! I didn’t have my big video camera with me, but I was able to record some of the performance on my mobile phone. I am trying to upload the videos to our vimeo website. After the Lion dancers there was a Chinese calligrapher writing names for people. I was able to get him to write you all a message. There is a video of him writing that as well. Extra bonus for anyone who can figure out what the message says!

We are heading off to Kuala Lompat in a few minutes. I will write some more once we get there and have our internet connection set up.
