"People born in the Year of the Monkey are fun-loving, energetic and inquisitive. Their intellect allows them to adapt to any situation, they are confident, charismatic, loyal and inventive.
Sometimes, the Monkey can be a little too curious for his or her own good, as well as careless, restless, immature and arrogant."
The Chinese community in Dublin and their many friends celebrated the Lunar New Year at the CHQ in the docklands area of Dublin and I got the opportunity to photograph some of the people and the activities.

his morning I was on my way to Howth when a nice Chinese lady, thinking that I was a press photographer, invited me to photograph the official Chinese delegation so took the opportunity even though I did not have an ideal lens [my fall-back excuse for not being a good portrait photographer].
A delegation from the Shanghai Metro were in Connolly Station this morning as the two-week-long tribute to Chinese poetry was launched. The China Cheongsam Association of Ireland performed traditional Chinese music and dance on platform four from 11am, and there was some Chinese cuisine samples for passengers who got there early as i was planning to have lunch in Howth I did not try the food.
Last year Chinese commuters in the city of Shanghai were treated to the poetry of W.B. Yeats as they travelled on board the local Metro service and as they passed through various stations as part of the Yeats 2015 celebrations. This year CIE will continue the relationship by displaying famous Chinese poems on board the DART and at Stations during February to mark Chinese New Year.

Happy Chinese New Year! It's the year of the monkey which is pretty sweet because monkeys are cool. The story of Griswald the good vibe gorilla. Griswald the good vibe gorilla was born with a very special talent. It was the ability to make anyone who encountered him smile. Sometimes it was because of his happy bright colours and other times it was when he told a funny joke like "Why did the orange stop in the middle of the road? Because it ran out of juice" and other times it was just the good vibes that he emitted from his being. His favourite place to hang was down at Bondi Beach because he liked to provide good vibes to all the surfers and swimmers and people playing that game with the paddles and ball, is it called paddle ball? That game looks fun. For unknown reasons his vibes are strongest early Friday mornings and you can tell just how strong because a lot of the surfers in the line up turn fluro and have a great time. That's why they call it #flurofriday. The End I painted him in support of @onewaveisallittakes a non profit surf community combating depression. #chinesenewyear #yearofthemonkey #bondi #mulgatheartist via Instagram ift.tt/1QlCbtw
