Chinese New Year in London

London celebrated Chinese New Year with amazing festivities in Central London Trafalgar Square. The crowd got a little crazy when the dragon performed (one lady grabbed both of my shoulders and tried to push me through!) but that's to be expected. There were dozens of street vendors selling toys, lucky charms, red bean buns, spring rolls and dragon beard candy (sounds really interesting but did not look too appealing). I had some really good food from a restaurant in Chinatown and got a balloon for the upcoming Kung Fu Panda 2! The celebrations ended with Chinese dancing and beautiful fireworks. Here are some pictures!
