It's a new year. A new starting point. New energy. A new beginning. Every year you get a chance for a new beginning.
Last year we had the biggest crowd. This year we still got a good crowd with the rain.
I am excited to be here, rain or shine. It's a historic event that happens every year here in Chinatown.
The year of the wood snake is supposed to be a year of change and upheaval - but one that can be positive and bring about transformation.
