White Chinese New Year

While I am still hoping to experience a white Christmas after the white Easter last year, guess what? I am having a white Chinese New Year!! 

It is a complete chaos over this side of the world especially the London public transport! Trains, tubes, buses and even taxis are all affected. Took some people 4 hours to get to work, but we are wondering how are they going to get home? Thank goodness my manager let me stay in. 

Strangely enough, I am actually enjoying this (on top of staying at home). The streets are quiet, everything is white and it is beautiful!

Happy Chinese New Year!

The first Sunday after Chinese New Year is when the London China town puts on events to celebrate this most important Chinese festival of the year! This year there is no exception. 

As expected, a big crowd gathered for the fireworks which marks the end of today's celebrations. What surprises me is how the fireworks were lit - by hand?!?! 

To me, seeing the staff running around Leicester Square lighting the fireworks for our amusement was the main entertainment. (No staff was injured during the lighting of fireworks!)
