Fruit, firecrackers, Chinese newspapers, cookies and candied ginger... Such a colorful melange of things on display along the sidewalks of SF's Chinatown today.
Happy Year of the Tiger, everyone! Goodbye damn tough Ox.
I loved the architecture of Old Chinatown in SF and was amazed by the variety of traditional embroidered Chinese shoes, but I didn't buy anything in the end - there was too much cat and dog fur on display in the shop windows :(
Just went the other day to buy fireworks for Chinese New Year! Always so much fun there! Also love that you can buy colorful Pashmina's there for $5.00!!! I am loving your recent posts with such colorful photos! xox
GG & I are so happy, as you are, to kick the behind out of Ox. Tigers Rule (even little ones:) Glad you're having excellent time in Chinatown. Man, it's making me hungry now. How is Lola doing?
