Chinese New Year in London uploaded on 27 May 2008

The 2004 Chinese New Year Celebrations in Chinatown in London. It was really Amazing, I was following this dragon down the street along with what felt like thousands of other people for hours and couldn't get a shot. I went into a shop to get a drink and call it quits. When I paid and was walking out of the shop, there he was, right in front of me and dancing to bestow good luck to the shop's owners. I think some of the luck rubbed off on me too.

taken from a forgotten corner of the park. We found a hidden trail that lead the ruins of a former house that was only a corner of a kitchen, including the kitchen sink. We also "rented" a baby chicken on La Ramblas and named him Cheep McNugget. A fantastic day.

I had to wait what felt like 2 minutes for the wondering tour group in front of me to move along so i could get this picture.
