Recently I was privileged to be invited to celebrate Chinese New Year with a student friend, Thanh. It was put on by the Vietnamese Buddhist society in a nearby city, where they also have a temple. It was fascinating to see how people worship, light incense and put fruit in front of the various statues.
Downstairs we just gave Thanh some euros and said, "Buy what you think tastes good and is typical!" With this cold bean drink, we really felt like we were living in Asia for an evening!
Here my friends Sören and Thanh are enjoying special delicacies... (Anja was here, too)
Downstairs there were various musical events, including a choir and a typical dragon dance with drums accompanying.
The bean drink-- you could eat it with a spoon!
