After an all-you-can-eat lunch, we checked out the Lunar New Year events. Except for small acrobatic and lion dance performances, there wasn't that much going on. The streets weren't decorated, nor the shops, not like it is in London Chinatown. What I really miss are proper Chinese bakeries, filled with the aroma of egg tarts and sweet breads, but disappointedly, all I could see was cookies and pastries all individually packaged up in plastic, all very Japanesey. But Chinese bakeries aside, I did quite a bit of grocery shopping ;)
