Trafalgar Square resembles Beijing’s ‘Forbidden City’ as traditional and modern Chinese performers, a food court and craft market all bustle round Nelson’s Column. A few streets away, you can watch lion dances in the city’s famous Chinatown as you eat dim sum in one of the delicious restaurants.
We all know China invented fireworks over 2,000 years ago. So don’t miss the magnificent display in Leicester Square. It’s a superb way to end your day and start the New Year.
| Translation - German
Wenn rund um die Nelson's Column dank traditioneller und moderner chinesischer Artisten, Essensständen sowie eines Kunsthandwerksmarkts lebhaftes Treiben herrscht, erinnert Trafalgar Square an Pekings 'Verbotene Stadt'. Nur ein paar Straßen weiter - im weltbekannten Chinatown - können Sie sich Löwentänze ansehen und dabei Dim Sum in einem der feinen Restaurants genießen.
Wie wir alle wissen, hat China vor über 2000 Jahren das Feuerwerk erfunden. Das prächtige Spektakel am Leicester Square sollten Sie sich nicht entgehen lassen. Herrlich, so den Tag zu beenden und das neue Jahr zu beginnen.

Surprise
I thought it would be nice for them to surprise their mum with some delicious cakes. After getting all the ingredients together we finally managed to create something that resembled cakes, but I think it was the pictures of the mess that were more impressive! Everything was all tidied up by the time Mum got back, but I just had to show her what we’d been up to.
She certainly looked surprised...
Capture all the fun. | Translation - German
Überraschung
Ich dachte es würde ihnen Spaß machen, ihre Mami mit köstlichem Kuchen zu überraschen. Als wir endlich alle Zutaten beisammen hatten, haben wir dann auch ein kuchenartiges Gebäck hingekriegt, allerdings waren die Fotos von dem ganzen Durcheinander viel eindrucksvoller! Als Mami zurückkam, war alles aufgeräumt, aber natürlich musste ich ihr sofort zeigen, was wir alles angestellt hatten.
Sie sah ganz schön überrascht aus...
Den kompletten Spaß festhalten. |
