32 366 - Chinese New Year in London

Today I went alone, kids sick, to the Chinese New Year festival in London. It was bloody freezing and I have no idea how this little boy could hold that stick given the windchill - perhaps it was frozen?

I started in Trafalgar Square where I took this and then fought my way up to China Town. I have never seen London so so busy. And taking photos was a nightmare. The whole of Newport Place was rammed with people. You couldn't move. It took me ages to find the lion dances but eventually I made it through the crowds and waited at his next port of call. Cunning. except it was so busy that i hardly managed any decent shots. I take my hat off to people who do this kind of photography it for a living.

I bought Violet one of these dragon things, a furry puppet one and some firecrackers.
