By now everyone has pretty much settled into 2019; the "Happy New Year greetings" are dwindling and it is back to the grind.
But not for the Chinese, they celebrated their New Year's this weekend. So it was like Christmas in February for the local Chinese community and for Belizeans who participated in the festivities. The celebrations began on Saturday morning with a parade and a performance of the traditional Lion Dance on Albert Street. Then on Sunday, there was the big banquet. Edmond Quan, the Honorary Chairman of the Belize Chinese Association told us more about this special observance.
According to the Chinese Zodiac, 2019 is the year of the Pig.
On a related note, the association has a new chairman. He is Johnston Ou.
