Chinatown, New Year Parade

[glbl]

Many years ago, in the beginning of ninetieth, working in Beijing, I've fallen in love with China and even got half a dream, half a plan to move and live in there. As usually routine of scientific business, orientation to the Western world, economic crisis in the country of my permanent residency headed off these plans. Rather I thought that the plans were gone until I found myself in Vancouver, where I met what is even brighter than all my dreams were. And I am happy to be a part of Vancouver like in these festive days of the New Year celebration. Let’s have a look.

I have no time to put all my pics of the day due to time shortage. Only several more maybe:










Enough. It’s time to return to the village :)
