Note to self.

The lunar new year parade was pretty disappointing. There were floats, but I’m not sure what they represented. Maybe they just represented their sponsors. I saw one for a law firm. Another had people on board throwing keychains to the crowd. I don’t think keychains are ancient tradition. The first day, while I missed the big firecracker thing, was a lot more fun. Next year, go to the first day with the dragons and explosions scaring away bad spirits and stuff, and skip the parade. At least it was a beautiful day, and Chinatown is still pretty foreign to me. I resisted buying one of those streamer cannons, but now I wish I hadn’t. It’d be fun to shoot one out my window. Add some color to the neighborhood.
