Dragons!

Gung Hay Fat Choi or Happy Chinese New Year! This is the year of the DRAGON! My favorite mythological animal! Started from a childhood live of the animated movie "Flight of Dragons".

We had a busy, crowded and fun time in Chinatown. Lots of people and shopping. Saw dragon dances and parade. Got dragon stuff per pics. Then had a nice dinner with family since a cousin was in town. It was great to hang out and chat with the cousins.

We are exhausted but overall it was a wonderful day. I almost bought a dragon head - you can wear as a costume. I also almost bought another dragon statue. I want to get a jade dragon pendant and more dragon goodies, but I suppose I'll wait. I even tried Dragon sushi for dinner - eel on California roll, not a real Dragon.

Usually Chinatown is a bit of a sleepy empty place. Today it was packed. I liked it more when it was crazy busy, I think because the street vendors aren't so pushy - so many other customers. Although the madhouse frenzy was a bit much at times.

I heart Chinatown!
