I went today, man it was freezing!! and it was also snowing at intervals. I was watching the festival dance show at trafalgar square but then it got too cold so I just went chinatown to eat followed by troc. Did anyone enjoy this event?
i went with someone and his friends and took pictures and made videos ~ but i dont have them, my friend does, so hopefully he'll send them to me soon or he uploads them here himself ~ but yeah its was freezing and i swear i was on the verge of getting frostbite or encase in an iceblock but there were some cool spectators there, some Mandarin singers ~ and my friends friend was nuts and sang out loud and danced to it ~ was funny and there was a girl who was the Worlds Record Holder for the Hoola Hoops and OMG she was amazing. span 5 rings on her legs and arms, one ring on each and eventually span a huge bundle of rings and it span like a tornado it would. impressive stuff. but i feel sorry for them performers, they wore so little and it was Freezin!!! ~ saw the Lion dance in CHinatown going round each restaurants, it was sooo crowded, hard to navigate through when it was peak time ~ but overall i enjoyed it despite the cold!!! >.< went to Covent Garden and Troc as well and had Dim Sum like the same place as we did for the London PA Meeting ~ So many people >.< dont the other Chinatown in the other countries have something similar happening too???
nopes....but i wish i went.....always hear great things about the cny events in london but i know how cold it was.....it snowed near me throughout the day too...but it wasnt settling =/ how come it was today..?..aint it like a week late...? -huh
yeah i thought the same, isnt it a week late but as word of mouth goes, it was happening today so there you go ~
@Natsu: Im glad you enjoyed the event, I didnt enjoy it cause it was so cold, too cold to just stand there, I would have definitely caught the flu + Hypothermia if I had stay there any longer. I did also feel sorry for the performers wearing so little clothing. Ah, so you went JoyKingLau, I went to Cafe deu Hong Kong with my friends. @BBear: you should be glad you didnt go, with that kind of weather. Exactly I was surprised it didnt happen last week. But this event was broadcasted on the chinese Radio, so I guess thats how word got spread round
^ i wish i went...i saw bits of it on chinese channel and it looked sooo good.... the atmosphere looks so good...cny up here....nuttin as spesh as that =/ with the snow and everything...so much more romantic and fun i think...!!!
@BBear: lol, fun? You wouldnt be saying that when you fall ill the next day, lol. But it was really crowded though, Plus they completely sealed off parts of the area, so it was difficult getting there by car, Also the parts of the tube was closed off during that time, so even more frustration
lol i went....lots of people...it was so hard getting to one end of the road to the other... but it was fun though...even though it was cold an snowing a bit lol
the snow was nice, the cold was just about bareable ~D had many layers ^^ i was more concern about walking on the snow, didnt want to PK in front of people ~
hahaha so true ^^ did Gawain and Ah May take pix too?? ~ i got mine, well when my friend sends them over ~
dont that do that for most events in london anyways...close off roads etc is to protect you guys silly...so ya dun have them crazyy drivers tryna run ya over or have them ickle kiddies just charging into the roads thinking their God -__-" so how did you get there then...??....get dropped off close by and walked over? i pk-ed already...who cares if people see you....just pk proudly...haha.. Michelin IS the new style at the moment....-tongue2... lub this style...hides all my spare tyres....muhaha.. whos jia bo..??..famous..?
i think i did i got there just past 4pm and didnt leave til like just past 5pm. so if wen jia bo performed around those times, then yeah i saw ~ i saw a guy and 2 women singing and the hula hoop girl. the guy was incredible, his voice was amazing. so was the hula hoop girl ~ impressive stuff is wen jia bo a guy??
yeh i went dwn there but didnt watch any of da performance coz it was so packed was jus hangin bout wif friends
Definitely! well glad you had fun I found it unbearable even with 6 layers on its still cold. there must have been a draught somewhere I didnt take any pics, but i took a video of that firework display got there by car, the car was parked so far, so I had to walk to there. Was so cold walking there :( I just saw a bunch of females singing with skint clothing, I felt sorry for them singing in such cold weather
