ReplyDeleteIf I celebrated CNY at my house I'd get arrested for illegally setting off fireworks.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful.
ReplyDeleteHello. Fascinating and interesting serie of photos.
ReplyDeleteSince we didn’t go into Chinatown for this, I thank you very much for sharing this with us. What a lot of fun! Happy New Year to you, Cloudia. I just heard my neighbor fire off some firecrackers.
ReplyDeleteJolly Friends!!!!
ReplyDeleteEven though we have a "moderate" Oriental (not just Chinese) community, we have absolutely NOTHING as clever, deafening, and celebratory as the celebrations you have in your hometown (and I suspect the island, too.
ReplyDeleteHaha clipboard guy! Everyone looks like they are having a great time!
ReplyDeleteVery nice celebration photos Cloudia.
ReplyDeleteHere in Perth the Chinese also celebrate New Year, but I have yet to go out and take photos, but there will more occasions during the next 2 weeks.
