Chinese New Year 2015 in Kolkata

Gong Hai Fat Choi (Happy New Year in Chinese) to All of you.

Chinese new year 2015 has been celebrated in Kolkata with full spirit on 19th January. There are two distinct places in kolkata for Chinese community, Old china bazar and Tangra. This year we went to Old china bazar to be part of it. This year we found more photographers than Chinese people over there  hehehehe. Dragon dance was performed but school final exams is so near due to this participation of Chinese people were very low this year in comparison with the last year. Specially most of the young people they didn’t take part in Dragon dance and that’s why crowd was less. This year Girl’s group didn’t take part in Dragon dance and reason behind it is all final exams are at door. But others groups were performed well.

    This design is wicked! You certainly know how to
    keep a reader amused. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Great job.
    I really enjoyed what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it.
    Too cool!

    I have no idea if it’s just me or if perhaps everyone
    else encountering difficulties with your website. It seems like several of the written text inside your posts are running off the screen. Can another individual please comment and
    inform me if it is happening in their mind too?
    This could be described as a problem with my internet browser because I’ve had
    this happen before. Kudos

    I think what you said made a ton of sense.
    But, think on this, suppose you added a little content?

    I am not suggesting your information is not good., but what
    if you added a headline to maybe grab folk’s attention? I mean Bong Blogger |
    Chinese New Year 2015 in Kolkata is kinda plain. You could glance at Yahoo’s home page
    and watch how they write post titles to get people to click.
    You might add a video or a pic or two to grab people interested
    about what you’ve written. In my opinion, it could bring
    your blog a little bit more interesting.
