Project 52: Week 45

Gong Hey Fat Choy

On Sunday we went to London. As the Chinese New Year had passed we didn’t think that there would be any celebrations. We always like to head for China Town anyway and when we got there we realised we were wrong. Very wrong!

This photo was taken at the entrance of the main section of China Town. The crowds were so thick that you could hardly move. We couldn’t actually get into the China Town area because of overcrowding. They were only letting people out. So I tried to take the best photo I could to catch the moment, holding the camera above my head. I thought this one was the best.

I hope you get a feel for the amount of people on the streets.

By the way, Gong Hey Fat Choy is Chinese for Happy New Year.
