CNY09 - Lunar New Year Fair & Flower Market : Lunar New Year Fairs are common a few days before the Chinese New Year. The biggest Fair in Hong Kong is held at the Victoria Park and comprises of a large Flower Market and hundreds of other stalls selling food, toys and good luck souvenirs. Held on the eve of chinese new year, the Fair is part of custom, hang nin siu (行年宵, literally: walk the year night) or hang fa shi (行花市, literally: walk the flower market). The activity is at it's peak around midnight as the fair closes before dawn on New Year day. Vendors try to sell all flowers before close, and often don't take back any leftovers that could not be sold. The crowd, the colors, the food - altogether it's a completely unique experience to be there

CNY09 - Worlds Happiest Party : The concept of a Chinese New Year Parade originated in America (surprise), but has since then made it's way back to europe and Asia, not to forget China too. The parade in Hong Kong is a very colorful event that is attended by thousands of people on the footpaths of Tsim Sha Tsui. 2009 was no different, the parade was as colorful as ever, and the wait in the first row of the crowd was worth the event. It wasn't that much worth the pictures though. As the evening fell and the parade started, I found myself standing in the worst possible location - pretty low light (photographers nightmare), and a spot where the parade would never pause for performances. Fortunately, my f/1.4 lens helped me salvage this gallery out of an otherwise tough situation
