Welcome to the year of the Dragon ! !  Very auspicious.  Bangkok, one of the leading cities to celebrate Chinese New Year, certainly parties in a big way.  We were invited into a hotel by a fellow traveler and the view from the sky bar was tremendous.  All Chinatown and the skyline/river where laid out below you.  New Year’s morning, we had reservations for the lion dance and New Year’s brunch at the Shangri-La, it was perfect.  Lion Dancing outside the front lobby followed by the best brunch I have ever had in my whole life and another afternoon in China town – you couldn’t ask for a better adventure.  And the best part was we did not get lost.  Well, maybe a little lost, but at least we got lost together.
