So we have reached the end of new years celebrations.
No more banging and shooting of fire crackers, waking up 7 am in the morning momentarily thinking you live in a war zone. Finally being able to speak on the phone again.
I had heard that the Lunar Festival would be celebrated in YuYuan Gardens in Old Town so Campbell and I headed over there together with about 200 000 other Chinese people.
I was very excited wondering what was actually going to take place! Not quite sure what we were looking for we made our way through the masses which were worse than People Square Metro Station at 5.30 pm.
This was a mistake.
Wobbling around like penguins on a pointless trek somewhere. There were nothing that "happened". Just masses of people walking around. The biggest attraction as far as we understood it was this plastic Tiger (it is the year of the Tiger now) posing with a giraffe (?).
Please note how I skillfully managed to get the full moon in the picture. Appreciate and enjoy.
