Year of the Dog

Chinese New Year is tomorrow and I’m off to London’s Trafalgar Square to watch the celebrations and maybe get some nice photos. There is a parade that begins at 11am that starts in Leicester Square, travels down the Charing Cross Road and finally ends in Trafalgar Square itself. It is rumoured that the London Eye will be turned red for the occassion so that will definately be a sight worth seeing.
