This morning I was on my way to Howth when a nice Chinese lady, thinking that I was a press photographer, invited me to photograph the ‘Official Chinese Delegation’ so I took the opportunity even though I did not have an ideal lens [my fall-back excuse for not being a good portrait photographer].
A delegation from the Shanghai Metro were in Connolly Station this morning as a two-week-long tribute to Chinese poetry was launched. The China Cheongsam Association of Ireland performed traditional Chinese music and dance on platform four from 11am, and there was some Chinese cuisine samples for passengers who got there early as i was planning to have lunch in Howth I did not try the food.
Last year Chinese commuters in the city of Shanghai were treated to the poetry of W.B. Yeats as they travelled on board the local Metro service and as they passed through various stations as part of the Yeats 2015 celebrations. This year CIE will continue the relationship by displaying famous Chinese poems on board the DART and at Stations during February to mark Chinese New Year.
The poems will be displayed in Chinese and English.

The Chinese community in Dublin celebrated the New Year at the CHQ in the docklands area of Dublin and I got the opportunity to photograph some of the people and the activities on Saturday [6th.

A wonderful day with great friends ... and the things I saw and shared with them.
Taiwan Lantern Festival 2016 was held in Taoyuan. It was incredible from beginning to end. The amount of people that attended was STAGGERING.
But the lanterns were all incredible and we had a great time. I love the festive nature of these events and the amazing color on display.
Was a trip worth taking.

"People born in the Year of the Monkey are fun-loving, energetic and inquisitive. Their intellect allows them to adapt to any situation, they are confident, charismatic, loyal and inventive.
Sometimes, the Monkey can be a little too curious for his or her own good, as well as careless, restless, immature and arrogant."
