Chinese New Year in Buenos Aires



In Finland we don't celebrate Chinese New Year. Actually, I didn't even know when it is! Lots of people was talking about it here in Buenos Aires, so I thought it must be worth of seeing. And it was! Huge stage and screen, lots of different kinds of performances going nonstop, dozens of food stands and many things for sale. I enjoyed mostly from the food and performances. 




Sushi in plastic box from the Japanese food stand.
 I've never tasted Sushi "From the street" and it was delicious! Best I've ever tasted (so far). 


Chinese deep-fried squid rings... It's hard to find anything better!
The best thing was that in this one you could taste the real squid really well, yum yum!


Last but not least smoothies! Real, fresh smoothies made from real, fresh fruits and berries.
I can still taste it in my mouth, it was that good!


Of course I had to get the fortune cookie with the prediction. Mine says "Open your heart. You can always close it again." I wonder how seriously I should take the prediction :D!



In Buenos Aires they celebrated the Chinese New Year whole two days. The atmosphere was incredible! Everyone was so happy and relaxed! I wish there will be the day when you can feel that in Finland too :D! I took some videos, so I could show what I experienced and saw, but it's impossible. On the top of it the videos quality turned out to be quite bad. If you think it's too bad, skip the first too and watch at least the last one and the small screen works the best.
