The New York Times mentions the annual St. Patrick's Day on today's paper. So apparently it's news worthy. Whereas the Chinese New Year is not and has not been so. Being a Chinese American I am frankly disappointed at the Chinese New Year coverage or actually the total lack thereof from a major New York newspaper (A22 on print).

For Chinese New Year coverage, you have to see it on my blog.

Chinese New Year is not even a public holiday, while the St. Patrick's Day parade in NYC is the biggest parade in the world.

I thought you are going to say St. Patrick's Day is a holiday ... It almost is.
ReplyDeleteI still remember my Paddy's Day Parade in NYC vividly - one of my best friends visited me from Dublin and us and a girl from HK went to the parade route, but it got so freezing that we had to retreat to the second-floor Starbucks of a toy store to get warm...
ReplyDeleteIn Ireland Paddy's Day is for families mainly. They tried to make it a bigger event year after year but it's actually getting a tad too carnival-ish and too Americanised I think... Just hope we won't be forced one day to have "corned beef" as well, a TOTAL Irish-American invention.
Keep up blogging CNY in future even if it doesn't make NYT, that's what citizen journalists are for.
This year, the weather was nice and warm. There were big crowds everywhere.
