Back from watching the cele-brations in Newcastle's China Town. It was absolutely freezing (and before dogs starts with his pedantry that was a figure of speech rather than actually meaning the temparature was at freezing on the Kelvin scale! :P) so after we had watched the Lion Dance for a bit (but didn't get a very good view through the crowds) we dashed off to eat before it finished. Turns out this was a good move because the restaurants were chocker but after the Lion Dance finished the queues were out into the street for most of them.
The picture (taken by Lauren with her mini camera thing [High performance????]) was the lion coming into the restaurant for a dance - which meant we got a very good view, got stuffed with crispy beef and didn't freeze to death. Which was nice.
