Happy Chinese New Year!

It's the year of the Snake! And guess what...that's my year!!

So, this weekend I joined in London's celebrations of the Chinese New Year. On Saturday I visited China Town with Jennifer and Jason, where we were entertained by a dragon doing a dance with drums on the street. We also enjoyed a buffet lunch. We figured we couldn't leave without at least having a spring roll! And since we couldn't find anywhere to just have a spring roll, we said 'Hey! Let's just eat the buffet!'.



On Sunday, Kelly, Matt, and I went to Leicester Square for the Chinese New Year parade. My first parade in London! While it was drizzling rain and cold, it was still cool to watch.


The best part, the dragon at the beginning of the parade! 





This seems straight out of Oliver Twist or Les Mis or something. Not really sure what they are doing in a Chinese New Year parade...

Happy Chinese New Year!
