It would have been for this American too. But in the 1990s, I was introduced to the Chinese New Year through a mother of one of my students. It was an interesting celebration for the students and myself.
Our old Chinatown looks the same as that, but what i saw in China in their smaller cities in early 90s was worse, dirty and slimy and all. I wish you put the before and after shots, it is very interesting.
Thanks for visiting and leaving a comment - I love reading them and look forward to viewing your blog. If you only allow Google+ comments I won't be able to leave a comment in return.
Born in London, I've lived in The Netherlands, New York, and Washington DC. Now I've settled down in Colorado and love taking pictures. Until October 2014 I used a Nikon D40X, but now it's a Nikon D5300. I do almost no photo editing - occasionally I will crop or remove a dust spot, but that's all. What comes out of the camera is what you see here.
