New Years' (a few weeks late) at East Asia Market

A few weeks back, I had the pleasure of witnessing a small New Years' dragon dance at East Asia Market in the Lincoln District.  I was there for groceries, but was let in on the secret of the festivities to commence in just a few minutes - enough time to rush the few blocks home for my camera!

Not quite the drama of the Lincoln District-wide TET celebrations (see my post from 2010, or the post from 2009) which used to be a custom, but this intimate gathering was still a treat.  Since actual fireworks weren't an option, the sound of fireworks was played over the store's speakers!
