I personally have never been to a Chinese New Year celebration, and I must say that it was really awesome. Watching the dragons, the firecrackers and the many, many stalls full of all sorts of food; it was an amazing experience.
The atmosphere was festive with sparks and fireworks in the streets. I am used to watching the ball drop in Times Square, but the display in Manila was much more raw, personal and lively, if somewhat dangerous.
And no, I’m not Filipino, but I do have Filipino friends and love Filipino culture.
Note: Sorry I have been away and was unable to check on some of my favorite photographers here. I will get to you soon 🙂
