Here are the drummers drumming for the dragon dance...to celebrate the arrival of the Year of the Ox....
All the festivities, the amazing costumes, decorations, foods, celebrations, dances.....traditions.....it left me with a feeling that the 'Western' New Year celebrations are a little lacking.....
After we spent time at the Chinese celebrations on the ice rink, we went to T and T Supermarket again and bought some Chinese cakes and breads to try and it was sooooooo busy! bustling with people buying their foods for their parties over the next few days - exciting to be a part of it all :)
I loved how they did it all this year with the big market on the ice rink and the big stage. So much better than past years. I hope the do the same thing in future years - I'm glad Grace told us about it!
