2012 entered with lots of activities and festivities in the year of the water dragon. More than a week from now, the Chinese community here in Manila will be celebrating what is considered as the most important day in Chinese culture, the "Lunar New Year" which falls on the 23rd of January. It is also the time when all family members gather to have a family reunion dinner and share "nian gao" or what is locally known as "tikoy" which represents sweetness and togetherness of the family. Chinatown in Manila will surely have a festive atmosphere with abundant oriental delicacies, firecrackers, drummers and of course the lion dance.
Here, I would like to share some images from last year's event of what to anticipate a week from now.
