Chinese Lantern Festival

  Busy, is the word I would best use to describe this event. Don't get me wrong, we had a good time and the lanterns were great; the park was covered in them, it made for a great spectical. The entertainment was also good, if you could find a suitable vantage point, but the queue for food and even just trying to move around on occasions was too much like being in the UK - lol.

It's amazing how quickly you get used to the lack of people (and traffic). If we had done this event straight after arriving, we would have been fine about it. Nothing worse than being down at St.Andrews on derby day, but it was a shock to the system this time around. I still can't get used to the fact that "Asian" here, is a term used to describe people of Chinese or similar origin. It's caught me out more than once.
