2011 Chinese New Year in Honolulu

2011 the Year of the Rabbit
The Year of the Rabbit, I was born in the year of the Rabbit. Anyway, Chinatown was in all it's glory, food, dragons, people and lots of everything else. 
We started by going to Honolulu Park Place, that was the only parking available, then took pictures from the 31st floor. You could already see the crowd was swelling, the smoke was thick, that means that there was going to be all kinds of delicious foods cooked right before your eyes. They didn't disappoint you either, there was chicken, beef, pork, noodles, crispy gau, egg rolls and the list could go on and on. Gotta get a plate. We checked out nearly every vendor, the entertainment was pretty good also, the Navy band played current hip hop and did a darn good job. They had a large crowd that sang along and danced in the street. We saw modern jazz dancing and of course there was traditional Chinese ladies dancing. It made for a nice evening stroll through Chinatown, get your exercise and work up and appetite at the same time, had a great time........aloha
