Year of The Monkey.

Yay! Finally I get to celebrate my zodiac sign. Today I went to Chinatown and so a whole big parade of lion dancing, and drumming. I still can't figure out why there was a dragon dance there when it's year of the monkey. Anyway the parade was a blast, people were throwing poppers on the streets, people were shoving and pushing and we still didn't go anywhere. That's when me and my mother ended up in a store to wait inside until everybody was finally moving. The police finally came to be able to direct for people to go because on the sidewalk we were on, everybody was going in one direction. Then, when the parade was over, the stupid idiotic police wouldn't let us cross the street, saying that the block was closed and we had to go around the block to get past when the parade was over. People started going through the barricades and crossing the street. We went back home and had took a nap, that's where I woke up and am telling the story. - Alex
