You are smart.But did you know that we went shopping in Chinatown?
Really?Did you have a good time?
Yes.We bought a big Christmas tree,some decorations and gifts.I really enjoyed the lunch we had there.I had a bowl of noodles,and I used chopsticks and a spoon instead of a fork and a knife.
My parents love to have lunch and shop there,although parking is a problem.My dad had to park his car in the underground parking lot.
Do they speak Chinese there?
In the stores and restaurants,people spoke English to me,but many of them speak Chinese to each other.And there were red lanterns everywhere.
Danny and I watched a wonderful dragon dancing performance during the Spring Festival last year.
That's interesting.I hope we have a North American town here.
Then you can celebrate Christmas and get gifts from Santa Claus.
I love Santa Claus.Do you believe it's Santa Claus who brings you gifts,Brian?
of course not.Only little kids believe that.But we do have lots of fun.
What do you usually do during the Spring Festival,Li Ming?
There are so many special things about the Spring Festival.Young children usually get gifts-lucky money.
We eat dumplings and many other delicious foods.We have temple fairs and all kinds of performances.It's the most important festival in China.
I hope I can go to Chinatown again to see the Spring Festival.
