We headed into Trafalgar Square today to check out the CNY celebrations into the year of the Pig. There was a large stage setup in the square and we got there in time to catch the dragon dance. As to be expected there were lots of people and moving around was a bit of a mission.
From the square we headed to Leicester Square where fireworks were due to be set off. After grabbing a bite to eat we watched the fireworks. They were good, though not quite as spectacular as it would have been as it was in the middle of the day!
Then we decided to walk through Chinatown and here the crowds were massive. There were a few lion dances occurring through the area and as such were causing blockages as people stood to watch. At one point we were caught is a mass of people who were all just shuffling to where they were going. We squeezed our way into a Chinese supermarket to grab a few things, then squeezed out way out of Chinatown, and back to Trafalgar Square to catch our bus home.
