The Chinese new year celebration here is a big event that lasts for 3 days during which thousands of firecrackers are blasted off and great quantities of foods are consumed. Noni and I didn't send any crackers a-poppin but we did our share of testing the culinary offerings. The culmination of the event was the selection of Miss Chiang Mai Chinatown. I was looking forward to covering the event with my camera but, alas, the crowds were so big that even with my long lens I couldn't get any worthwhile shots. From what I did see, all of the girls looked pretty much alike except for one with bleached blond hair and another one that was quite short - even in her platform shoes. I, of course, rooted for her cause I always support the underdog.
Here are some images captured during the 3 day event
