    I'm sure if you check the www.atlantamartialarts.com Chinese schools section, you may find at least one, maybe two...

    Since opening my school in Oct, I'd decided to wait to do a grand opening celebration on the 5th.

    Yu Shan is going to bring his Lion Team over to help out and my students and I will be doing demos for several hours that afternoon.

    "Gung Hey Fat Choy" or something close is cantonese, right? Anyone know the mandarin?

    hope to attract a some business.

    "If you find the right balance between desperation and fear you can make people believe anything"

    "Is enlightenment even possible? Or, did I drive by it like a missed exit?"

    It's simpler than you think.

    I could be completely wrong"

    Oso..

    Gong Shi Fa Tsai! (In Mandarin, not sure of the Pinyan though)

    I'm arranging our Lion Dances in the next few weekends.

    Got 9 lined-up and another 12 yet to confirm.

    Always fun!

    I think it is Gong Xi Fa Cai in pinyin. Not sure about the tones
    cxxx[]:::::::::::>
    Behold, I see my father and mother.
    I see all my dead relatives seated.
    I see my master seated in Paradise and Paradise is beautiful and green; with him are men and boy servants.
    He calls me. Take me to him.

    Thank you!!!

    PangQuan:
    Thank you... I hope to see you all down town.. Last year it just was the CBCC, Fen Kwoon (my school) and NorthWest Lion Dance Association.

    NWLDA did not get the Greens (Ching ) at the Portland Chinese Garden. They also was being very disrespectful to the older troups when passing them on the street. They Made themselves look really bad here in the Portland Chinese Community. I hope that they will be a little more respectful this year. My troup is the 2nd oldest troupe in the state now. The CBCC is the oldeist (1891). James Sifu of the CBCC said that they will not be so forgiving this year nor will my school .

    I hope to see you all down there thou, It will be cool to see some more troups.. Keep an eye out for my school flags... Like the one on my Avatar.. Please come up and say Hi!, maybe we go get some lunch or somthing.

    Nice, I will keep an eye out for your flags. I am not on the lion dancing team but my teacher has been speaking about the new year. I am hoping it all works out for him. We will be moving soon so I hope that this does not disturb his wishes to perform. I think his dancers are ready but we will see for sure come the 8th. Regardless of the outcome I will definately be checking your dancers out. Do you dance with them?
