2006 Lunar New Year Festival - 01-16-2006, 11:43 AM


The Chinese New Year Festival is right around the corner. There will be live cultural performances and food throughout the day. It's also an opportunity to get to learn and photograph another culture without the expense of a plane ticket. Here are a few from last year's festival. Link. The event is Free, btw.

Anyone interested?

You know I'm there, Dim Sum will be packed though I bet.

Yea, but we can go the next day probably. But I doubt if they would have any Dim Sum type foods at the festival. Mostly finger foods and tapioca drinks.

Looking at 80% chance of thunderstorms, not looking good for this one.
