Its so odd to go to Chinatown on Chinese New Years yuiyoshida Feb 2018 #2

I guess if the parade is seen year after year, the residents start to feel like ho-hum, democratisphere Feb 2018 #3

lots of tourists, get me out of hear. I think that happens in a lot of cities where there are street parades or festivals; the local residents go on vacation.

The parade is held well after, but on New Years, all the Chinese stay home and cook.

I mean the one that was internally illuminated with the red light. I've never seen such a beautiful New Year's dragon before!

Yui, you should take some video next year and post it here. I'd love that.

I don't really have one, nor anyway to record a program... but I thought for sure someone from the city wouldn't!
