From Vancouver to Hong Kong, this is the difference. I've not spent Chinese new year in China since 1995. Wow, that was a long long time. So as soon as we landed in Hong Kong, my eyes brightened. All this RED, everywhere; I mean, EVERYWHERE. Chinese folk songs were playing in supermarkets, malls, restaurants, subway stations at all times. I haven't felt this "Chinese" for a really long while. It was very fun, to say the least. I LOVED it!
In this Westernized globalization phenomena of the post-modern world, to see this pronounced Eastern cultural celebration is really something special. I was glad to be part of this whole atmosphere.
