Although the Chinese New Year was last Tuesday, London had their celebration on Sunday.
I went with a few friends, and we stepped off the tube to a cramped Trafalgar Square. We could here the drums, but couldn't see the parade.
Pushing our way through the crowd, Nichole and I were desperate for some "authentic" Chinese food, so the lot of us stopped at an outdoor, buffet type place (5 pounds for noodles and a sample of 3 side, yes please!). We stopped and ate on the steps of what seemed like another restaurant, and Liam noticed that the dragon was headed our way!
The dragon eats lettuce, and if a restaurant/establishment hangs a thing of lettuce from the front, he will stop there, eat the lettuce, then spit it back up to the onlookers. In theory this sounds disgusting, but in reality it was entertaining. The steps that we camped out on were right in front of one of the places, and then I realized that there was lettuce hanging from our stoop's restaurant! We had front and center seats to the coolest part of the Chinese New Year celebrations!
Sweet Dreams!
