Chinese New Year

February 10 2013 marks the Chinese New Year and a day of celebrations to herald the beginning of the Year of the Snake. In London was a big parade; on Trafalgar Square was lots of entertainment with music, speeches, acrobatics and much more.

Unfortunately it was very cold and rained nonstop the whole day, so we did not stay long. Elke and me then went to Royal Academy of Arts to see an exhibition with romantic paintings by Constable, Gainsborough and Turner. It was nice but not very impressive.
