A week before Chinese New Year (26th Jan), Yolande and I braved the bustling streets of Chinatown in our quest for a new outfit for the occasion. We were both on the lookout for something traditional, something very...Chinesey. After much searching, Yolande found a black and red patterned dress that seemed to fit the bill perfectly. Traditional, elegant, stylish... The only drawback was that she couldn't sit down whilst wearing it. After briefly entertaining the idea of standing all day, Yolande decided that sitting down was just too important to her, and left without making the purchase. As for me, I decided I couldn't be more 'Chinese' than Yolande, so opted not to buy a traditional outfit either. Still, it was great day out.
Arrival at Chinatown. Both of us straining our eyes on this bright and sunny Saturday afternoon.
The sights and sounds of Chinatown. Red and yellow, mostly.
Mine and Yolande's ideas of 'fitting in' didn't quite match up.
The wealth-bringing cats appeared to be dancing to this catchy, Chinese New Year tune.
