The 15th Day of Chinese New Year Festival

I went back to the temple this afternoon (Monday) as it was the last day of the festival. A parade featuring Barong Sai (dragon dance) and many more puppets dancing in the streets and in the klenteng (Chinese temple). However, since it was pouring, I opted to stay inside. As the statues of the gods were brought into the temple people clamored for the Chinese money and flowers. Many threw them up in the air, others pocketed them.
One of the young men from the temple, took me up through the jostling crowd to get some "up close and personal" pictures.
