the year of the dog...

No, I was not in China... I celebrated the chinese new year here in Sao Paulo, a city where cultural diversity reigns above all!
These pictures were taken last saturday at mid-day (it was already 2 am in China) when brazileans, chinese and people from so many different nationalities were celebrating the year of the dog: dragon dance, leon dance, concerts, fires, and looooots of chinese food, transported us to the celebration of this ancient nation.
Happy new chinese year to all!
