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.
