Happy Chinese New Year


Monday starts the year of the Ox. I have no idea why I am so fascinated each year by this celebration. I'm not Chinese.

I used to travel to NYC every year at the end of the celebration and I usually made a trip to Canal street which was littered with paper from fireworks, there was the smell of gunpowder in the air, and the air was hazy with smoke. And this was the morning after! They had many people cleaning up but it was a big job and appeared to take all day.
