This past Saturday was the celebrations for Chinese New Year in The Hague. I took some photos of the “statues” that represent the holiday. Upon closer inspection, I noticed these are mostly the same statues used back in 2013 for the first Chinese New Year I attended (scroll down to the second-to-last photo).
I’ve taken some better, close-up photos of some of them this year. For example, my favorite:
For some of them it was actually a bit hard to tell which of the 12 animals they represent, but because a few stripes on the top of this guy’s head (above), I think he might represent the year of the tiger.
And two photos from the parking lot behind Bijenkorf:
And finally, the year of the (cute) snake…
Lovely blue sky. We need more of that! Yesterday was rain, rain, and more rain (about a half a month’s worth).
Life in the Hague 
Was heel leuk, maar jammer van die harde wind.
Ik herinner me nog steeds hoe koud ik het had in 2013. Dus in vergelijking was 2019 best wel oké, maar ja. Koud!
Ja ,dat is waar .Maar wat lang geleden alweer he?
Zeker!
