Dot the Dragon's Eye
I was at the grand opening of a new business today. There was the traditional lion dance, confetti, firecrackers, flowers in the lapel, and Vanna Whites in qipaos. To awaken the dancing lions (which look like dragons) I was asked to take a writing brush, dip it in red paint and dot the dragon's eye. This "awakens" the dragon and he comes to life and begins the dance accompanied by unbearable clashing of cymbals and banging of drums. Then a few speeches, a ribbon cutting and off we go.
It only took two hours to drive halfway across Shanghai at rushhour to get home.
