Well I guess we are a week late, but it took me some time to get this posted. Anyway, last Sunday we went to check out the celebration. Supposedly its the biggest Chinese new year outside of China. I believe it!! They said there were 300,000 people out on Sunday to check out the festivities. Trafalgar Square was so packed we didn't even try to find a spot to watch the bendy acrobats or the other performances, we just walked around China Town for a while. It was super packed, but really cool. Definitely want to go back when its not so busy.

| The Dragons would come by and eat the cabbage, don't know why, but you knew one was on the way |
After too many people and not enough lunch we went to grab a bite in Leicester Square. There is a restaurant called Bella Italia, that has no less than 4 locations within a 3 minute walk of each other, so we thought it had to be pretty good. Turns out we were right!
Yummy! -Eddie
