I come from Guangzhou, China. So you can imagine that it looks nice here in the Chinese New Year. Especially we have something special, such as the Flower Streets. It is our tradition to walk around in the Flower Streets before the Chinese New Year. I love China

Sounds really nice. I've heard a lot about Guangzhou and I wouldn't mind visiting. I bet there are lots of special things along Flower Streets; are there shops, food stalls, or flowers?

I could not get in to this Asian food court last weekend and so many people crowded outside the entrance. I found out they were having the Dragon Dance (Barongsai?) inside. Very interesting and quite entertaining.

Yeah, I got that too. Taste really nice, and I was told it could be fried with egg. They are called New Year cake here.
