   Hi Thien,

   Thanks for posting this news on Dragon Dance Show 2009 in old Chinatown.

   It would be great if could post some pictures and a few video clippings of the activities after the event so that all Indian Chinese currently living abroad can get a glimpse of what transpired that day in Kolkata.

   Cheers

   Hi Thien,
   I have been wandering to attend chinese dragon show. I love photography and very eager to take some snaps of the dragon dance and the colorful chinese new year celebration in Tangra. It will be a great help if you can inform when and where the chinese community perform the dragon dance in the streets of Tangra during the new year’s day. I live in south kolkata and would visit China town to take the photographs. take care.

   Thanks
   Rajesh

   well you can catch the show starting from 23rd till 30th Jan 2009

   well to get it started -

   23rd on Territi Bazaar
   24th and 25th night at Pei Moi Chinese School or Tangra Bazaar (near Chung’s Restaurant) you would see “ChinaGate” beside Kali Mandir.
   and then there would be Fete and Dance Party held at Pei Moi Chinese School.

   It would be a great help if i could get a contact detail asap.
