Eye of the tiger

A few weeks ago, the Chinese welcomed the Year of the Tiger. I went to Chinatown to see the raising of the Tiger.

When I got there I checked my chinese calendar, isn't it the year of the Sardine ? I felt more like a sardine in a can than a spectator waiting for a tiger... After thinking about it, I discovered why. Two reasons : The first is of course it was so crowded. The second is, the Chinese use many firecrackers to scare the demons...

The demons are (possibly) scared by this, and the tiger too. And if you add the firecrackers to the crowd, I am sure of one thing, when the tiger saw the people and heard the noise they made, he ignored us, and went to sleep in quiet corner.
