Shaolin monks performing kung fu and weapons forms at a Chinese New Years celebration in Singapore at Thian Hock Keng Mazu temple (Tian Hou Gong) just after midnight.
We (Victor, Raymond, myself and other templing enthusiasts in Singapore) visited 6 temples to do 'bai bai' or 'worship' the deities there to welcome in the Chinese New Year - The Year of the Rabbit ... and from a cultural or spiritual perspective, I think there is no better way to welcome it.
The Shaolin performance at Thian Hock Keng was unexpected, their Dragon Dance is the best I have ever seen, and their martial arts awesome to say the least. For the welcoming in of the Year of the Rabbit, it was the icing on the cake.
