2015 Chinese New Year

Nice!

I was there just last November and had some fantastic food. It's a great place. The oldest Chinatown in the world from what I understand...

Past few street photos were taken at the oldest China Town in the world, Binondo, Manila, Philippines during the 2015 Chinese New Year.

Thanks for the comment bill.

These oranges are a high-yield sweet variety of the tangerine called the "ponkan".

I believe Chinese custom dictates something round and colorful is called for for good luck during Chinese New Year.
 
... some nice photos there, I keep looking at that x-typy 113 ... but I suspect CNY in Manchester wouldn't come out as nice as that whatever one used

PS ... not keen on the watermark though

The "oldest"??? I'm sure there's one in China that's older!
