Chinese New Year

I visited Chinatown for the Chinese New Year. It was pretty much insane. It was so crowded and there were those dragons dancing to a drum beat all over the place. Once I finally got out of earshot of one, there was another dragon. And the amount of people was crazy.

Chinatown was all decked out with paper lanterns and such. I got a couple of these custard pastries that are amazing.

After Chinatown, we visited a couple used book stores, but I decided I should probably finish the books I already have before buying more. Then we wandered into Covent Garden for a little while. After getting food and wandering a bit, we saw a little bit of a street performers act, but it was kind of strange.

It was an awesome weekend, and tonight I am going to movie night that the pastor on campus hosts.

For class today, I visited Buckingham Palace, and we discussed the architecture and history of it. I'll have to go back on a day when it's nicer out to see the changing of the guard and sit in the grass in St. James's Park and relax.
