Last Sunday I headed into the city for Chinese New Year & it was completely mental! First my family & I met up to go eat dim sum (try the mung bean cakes) & I also got a mango boba tea. Then off to the streets we went to wait for the festivities. The dragons dance their way around jam-packed streets & firecrackers ruptured in every direction.
We usually make a quick trip to a Vietnamese market whenever we're in the city & the shopping center was setting off firecrackers - which they've never done before. There were about twenty shopping carts with endless strings of firecrackers. We ended up waiting two hours to see them & the wait was completely worth it! In total four strings of explosives were lit. An endless cacophony of sparking droned on & on. By the end of the day my ears were tingling with a constant ringing sound. Have any of you ever gone to Chinatown to celebrate Chinese New Year? Comment down below on your experiences. I always tell people they should...it's really something worth seeing...& going a little bit death over!
