Happy New Year! #2

So this week was the Chinese New Year. We're now in the year of the Dog. At Kwantlen (Uni College) they have a language buddy program which encourages students learning to speak English to mix with those that already do. Today was one of there little outings so I went along. Countries represented by our group were, Finland, China, Japan, Indonesia, Fiji, Canada and England of course.
















everybody.........ahhhh!















It was a huge parade, with seemingly thousands of people it went on for ages














































































After the parade there were a few things going on in Chinatown, we stopped by the water garden just as it was starting to rain so....
















We left and went into the Chinese Mall for a spot to eat and to warm up















And that was that, yet another good reason to live in Vancouver!
