I remember walking through an area of town with a lot of Chinese businesses when I was a teenager, and stumbling on what can only have been the new year celebrations: there was a lion dancing its way from restaurant to restaurant to supermarket, and a group of people following, and people coming out with snacks - perhaps bits of oranges or lemons? I was fascinated, but too shy to go up and watch for long.
I had forgotten the huge drum noises until you mentioned Ros clinging to her dad! Yes, so loud!
