Wow! It looks like in China..:P
Last night, January 25, the first Davao Chinese New Year was celebrated at Magsayay st.,
The Platinum Band entertained the crowd. Even though the songs were quite old, people still liked rock music. Wearing the Chinese favourite colour, red shirts with white spots, the vocalists made the audience more lively and enjoyable.
For around fifteen minutes, the Davao Chinese community showed the Dagron dance, Chinese traditional entertainment.

Then, counting minutes at 5 minutes to 12 am, the moment of waiting for a new year gave a great excitement and a big joy for all. At 12 am, people shouted "Kung Tsi Fa Cai."! At the same time, people watched the direct cable show of New Year celebration floating full of colourful firework in

In the coldest time in my city, I enjoyed eating noodles and soup with different kind of species and flavor while they were very still hot.
If I could turn back the time, I would do it. Please keep opening your mind and enjoying your time fully and worthily...
