Year of the dragon!!!

 I convinced some people to go out to Chinatown with me for the Chinese New Year parade. Friends? Dare I say I have friends? We arrived towards the end of it, and caught a glimpse of the crowd at the corner of where we entered to eat. We knew it was the tail end of the parade, but food was beckoning to us. There was so much silly string and confetti. I'd like to see what it's like in China one day for this.

While we were wandering, we noticed a new grocery store. Anybody that knows me should know I love grocery stores. Some people binge eat or watch sappy movies when they have a bad day, going in grocery stores serves as that type of therapy for me. Gotta love grocery store decor.

I was not supposed to take pictures here. But I did anyway. Defiant until the day I die! This place was gorgeous, I just could not follow any societal conventions aside from which utensils to use. The food was amazing. The decor was amazing. The lighting was amazing. Although I'm pretty sure this place could have easily been found in the States, it was all amazing!

Is this not worthy of a tourist magazine? Aside from the no people. Do you not want to sit here? A and his fancy schmancy camera.

threw away the key

This was started somewhere else in Europe. People write or inscribe their initials and date on a lock. Lock it to the fence. And throw the key into the river below. There was only one guy selling locks. I would have expected more. I'm sure they would make a killing.
