Happy Chinese New Year from London!
Apparently London's celebration is the 2nd largest in the world! Wow!
Thinking of my "Joy Luck Club" girlfriend, Stephie, I ventured out to Chinatown (off Leicester Square) for an hour of amusement. Tomorrow is the big parade and official day of celebration so I was surprised by the large crowds today enjoying the sunshine and street entertainment. Here are just a few pictures from my afternoon out -- enjoy!
And trivia… In Los Angeles it is taboo to call someone "oriental" but here in the UK it is common place. So if a guy comes up to you and says, "you look oriental" that is not an insult but can be seen a compliment or pick-up line. ;)
