| Lion Dance |
My friend S and I attended the official grand opening of a local bank branch on the weekend. We were looking forward to all the freebies to be honest, being frugal people! So we entered a draw, drank coffee, got free reusable bags and little piggy banks. Then we had roast beef sliders, and some lovely cake at the end topped with berries. Oh, we met the local politicians who had been invited to make speeches and participate in the ribbon cutting. They also had a professional lion dance, as the area has a large Chinese community. We also had hot chocolate from a truck specially parked outside.
We discussed the sports arena and cultural centre that is currently under debate with the local councillor. He is against it, as we are, largely because it makes no financial sense. The mayor is in favour of it. M sees an advantage for hockey players. We also discussed the looming teacher's strike which we don't support. It's sounding a bit like the NHL Hockey lockout.
Anyway, it was a fun morning for S and me, did I mention we were stuffed?
