Chinese New Year Parade

Yesterday we went to San Franicsco downtown by the train. It is a public transportation for bay area people, known as "BART" ---Bay Area Rapid Transmit.

Every year there is traditional Chinese New Year Parade in Chinatown, a big event for Chinese folks in SF. When we got there ,it was already crowded, with cheerful atmosphere. Some people wore the traditional clothes, buying those jade jewelry, silk skirts, lanterns, fans or some other arts crafts which are commonly available in Chinatown. The streets are still dirty, with a lot of booth tents left from the daytime commercial fair.

Restraunts were crowded. Finally we picked a Vietnam restraunt for dinner ---just because it is quieter. It was kind of funny in a forest of Chinese restraunts.

Finally the parade:
