January 3rd, 2007 - New Tang Dynasty Television's Chinese New Year Spectacular

I saw last year's show and was amazed! The show combined martial arts, singing, dancing, and historical legends and stories into a theatrical stage production. I wrote my review of the 2006 New Tang Dynasty TV's Chinese New Year Global
and said that:
The show is both a showcase of a Chinese interpretation of multiculturalism and also a message of compassion and spirituality, underlined by Buddhist and Confucian sensibilities. This would not be unlike any Western society celebration of Christmas with Christian storytelling about the birth of Jesus, or how it is important to give gifts and celebrate peace at Christmastime. Chinese New Year is the largest holiday celebration of the year - in fact it is the "Christmas" of the Asian world. more »

We have a great bunch of people on the Gung Haggis Fat Choy dragon boat team. Many people have really built some good friendships. Everything we continue to do, somehow seems to revolve around or include eating.The next day, some of us tried out snowboarding for the first time on Grouse Mountain. Jonas had offered to teach beginners. I was the only skier, but was also able to help the neophyte boarders too. During an eating break, I tried out Jen's board and boots. I fell lots, and it took me 3 tries before I could get to the top of the Paradise beginner hill rope tow. It had been 12 1/2 years since my only other snow board try. Now I remember why I have stuck to skies. It's easier, and I can still do my old free-style tricks. more »
