Lunar New Year Celebrated with photo published by "USAToday,"Feb.22, 2010.
Korean dancers warm up before the star of the Chinatown Lunar New Year Parade in New York City. Spectators stood 10 deep, stepping on firecrackers that popped amid floats and balloons, celebrating the Year of the Tiger. It comes every 12 years according to the Zodiac.
Here is the cultural affinity of Korean and Chinese culture with folks in Okinawa, Japan and Singaporeans also honored such great occasion. The kids in Singapore painted their face as Tigers as shown on Phoenix TV in Hong Kong. I viewed such scenes with good memories of the past years in Shanghai when I was a kid about 4 years old. I also visited Korea and Japan,Singapore decades ago and I spent one academic year in Hong Kong. Asia is doing well in economic achievement and their lifestyle is worthy of note to Non-Asians.
As a lifelong learner, one of my focus is the intercultural identity of bilingual folks. Such cultures may be amusing,interesting, productive and creative in every sense of the meaning in the specific languages.
