lovely as usual Jonas. It was severely crowded yesterday, they say it was the biggest Chinese New Year celebrations outside China- nearly 300,000 people and now Londons 2nd biggest event after Notting Hill - its even bigger than normal Nrew Years.

Thanks, muppet
it was crowded, a little too crowded I would say. Anyway it was exciting

Absolutely wonderful, Jonas, thanks a whole lot!

Is that your view of the forces of law & order, Grumpy?

Jonas · #7 Posted **Feb 19, 2007, 11:18 PM**

I am a "pig" as well (I was born in 1983

), so no offensive remarks about these lovely animals, please.

Hear, hear!
Year of the Pig should be a good one - in Serbia, like in China, pig is a holy animal. Which of course, doesn't mean anything when its time to eat.

Great photos, as always, John!

Thanks

and there's nothing better than pork chops with steamed (or fried) rice... especially when you get a lot of it!
