Chinese New Year Parade 2013 San Francisco (compilation)

Excerpts from the 2013 Chinese New Year Parade in San Francisco, February 23. The parade lasted for hours, so of course I couldn't capture it all, but here's a sampling. (I left out all the politicians in convertibles, the majority (but not all) of the commercial floats, and probably a lot of other stuff too.)

新年快樂

The number of cell phones and cameras recording every second of every event these days is impressive. I sometimes wonder if anyone is actually watching not through a lens. Everyone has their own personal shaky recording of every event.

I hope the titles are not too terrible, I did the best I could using online translators. My apologies if I got anything wrong.
