exhibit is the activity
encountered next. Young-
sters are able to duck under
the lion head to dance and
also control the lion’s eyes
and mouth.
Shortly after performing
the lion dance, children
learn
about
popular
musical instruments in
Vietnam — a bamboo flute,
a monochord, a moon lute,
and a zither. Around the
next corner is Bau cua ca
cop, a popular betting
game, as well as a
challenge to cross a bamboo
bridge without holding the
handrail.
Before leaving the exhi-
bit, everyone has a chance
to look at the Vietnamese
zodiac wheel where they
can locate their zodiac
year.
Chuc Mung Nam Moi!
(Happy New Year!)
