Chinese New Year - Year of the Tiger

Year of the Tiger roared in with the annual Virginia Tech performance that the Chinese School of VPI is invited to sing at. This was J's first year singing. 

Our Valentine's Day flag and our Chinese New Year wind sock.

All dressed up in our Chinese New Year clothes.

Dress rehearsal.  J. is particularly cute with pig tails.

B. is directly behind J. in pink.

B. wanted braids.  

Singing the Lao Hu (tiger song). The words in English go something like this (sung to the tune of  "Are you sleeping"):

Here comes the tigers

Here come the tigers

See how fast the run

See how fast they run

One has no eyes

One has no tail

Isn't that odd

Isn't that odd.

(it looses something in the translation)

The Gonxi, gonxi song where they congratulate each other on a new year.
