100 Lions in Amsterdam

Parade of 100 Chinese lions down Oude Hoogstraat & off to Nieuw Markt.

The following information is from http://www.dutchdailynews.com/chinese-celebrate-100-years/

Exactly one hundred years ago, the first Chinese immigrants arrived in the Netherlands and settled among our dutch community.

To commemorate this, a Lion Dance performance with a crew of 100 Chinese lions will be performing at the Dam Square in Amsterdam on 9th July 2011. From the Dam Square, the lion dance ensemble will move in procession to the Nieuwmarkt Square. The "Dance of the Lion" will be the largest ever Chinese celebratory event to be held in Europe, according to the organiser -- the Foundation 100 years Chinese in the Netherlands.

Yes I know I put dragons on the title screen... It took an hour to download this video & I'm not doing it again :-p
