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?

There are so many special things about the Spring Festival.Young children usually get gifts-lucky money.
