Happy Chinese New year

Happy Chinese New Year !!!!
Well you know what the chinese are upto when you are in Japan. Yesterday was chinese new year's eve, so I made plans to visit China town near Yokohama which is japan's biggest china town. Wnated to visit it last time I was at yokohama, but could not. So I made plans with a friend, and off i was to yokohama again.
To get to chinatown you take a train from yokohama to Motomachi-Chukagai Station, the terminal station of the Minato Mirai Line. We reached there and it started drizzling a little. Sure, china town was huge, but it didn't somehow seem like new year's eve. We went to the usual street side shops and lots of restaurants. Nothing beats Indian chinese food though. The rain was still pouring and we had not found anything interesting other than a few bruce lee full size posters and a 100 yen charge for a toilet to take a leak. There was also a temple in here, but not too many people around. Didn't quite feel like new years !!
Decided to skip back home much earlier than usual. Hope the chinese have more fun in china on new years !!
