The year of the Rat. I feel like it was just yesterday that I was donning my favorite red dress to usher in the year of the Fire Pig. Now the Rat. Just a question - who picked these animal to be in the zodiac? I can understand the goat, the rabbit, tigers, etc.. but pigs and rats? Ok, I can even understand the pig to some degree - after all, from pigs come yummy bacon, ham and pork loin roasts. But Rats? It conjures up images of dirty, wet, stinky subways for me. And really, who wants to have that as their Zodiac sign? Watch, it's probably my sign.
Just checked it. Phew...I'm a rabbit.
In my few years that I have been in NY, I have always wanted to go to the Chinese New Year Parade. Something about seeing those dragon costumes just excites the little kid inside of me. Wow, I sound like a shredded wheat commercial where the adult turns into the kid after eating the "frosted" side.
This year, I was finally able to go. Fernando and I headed to the parade and it was all that I had imagined: tons of colorful confetti flying through the streets of Chinatown while dragons danced their way past the peking duck house and other chinese markets in 30 degree weather. Loved it..! But after about 20 minutes in the cold and crowd I was done. Later that day, Fernando and I walked over the Brooklyn Bridge and checked out the transit museum, which was cooler than I thought it would be. The favorite part: Wandering through the old subway cars and looking at the advertisements from each time period. And it was free. Always a nice touch.
Can you guess why I took this picture... yes I am immature. I thought it was Fukien funny. Fukien American Association.
Umm...slightly at a loss for words on this on. I know this is not PC but what is this guy doing in the parade?
