Still loving this place even if the weather is a bit dull, we were really looking forward to Chinese New Year as the Lonely Planet list Hong Kong New Year in the top ten festivals in the world. The trouble with street parades is the fact that a million other people all want to see the same thing, every thing is on the ground level and some people are prepared to camp out all day to secure a top spot, while we camped out in starbucks and drank coffee! So by the time we got the the streets the line was 7 people deep! We did manage to catch the last 5 floats at the front of the road, after walking around for an hour trying to find a good spot, but only I suspect because everyone with children had already gone home to bed. Still it was a cool night and here are some video.
The next night was the fireworks night and we got a bit more organized and camped out on the the other side of Kowloon, which was fantastic.
