Today is Chinese New Year; it's the year of the dog.  As most people know, the lion dance is part of the Chinese festivities celebrating the New Year.

Often there is a lion dance at Hong Kong.

There is a Chinese restaurant with the traditional upturned roof corners off Blvd. Isurgentes near the hospital, DIF, and Mormon Temple.  (Sorry I cannot remember the name of the place.)  Most years it has a lion dance that can be viewed both inside and outside the restaurant.  (Last year I took my gf's kid to see it and they had a blast.  They even got to feed the "lion.")

Mexicali, of course, was founded by Chinese immigrants who built the railroad near the border.  They stayed and helped built the irrigation system.  It still has a large Chinese population and some  good Chinese food.  Some day I'd like to spend Chinese New Year there and find a MP with Chinese chicas.  (I've looked once but didn't one.  If anybody knows where one is located please post about it.)
