Today, I ran across an Seattle PI newspaper article by Brad Wong about the Seattle Chinatown gate that’ll be unveiled this Sat., Feb. 9.
Reminds me that I attended a tour last weekend around DC Chinatown and vicinity that was conducted by the Goethe Institut and included multilingual (English-German-Chinese) poetry recitations.
The tour ended with a reception at the Chinatown community cultural center. There, I told the tour leader, that I had some snapshots of the construction of the DC Chinatown gate (circa 1986 or 7).
Eventually, I’d like to scan and post them. (That'll have to wait until my home desktop computer is fixed.) Perhaps I might even want to create a simple website for them.
Meanwhile, the Chinese New Year parade in DC Chinatown is this Sunday, 10 Feb 08 from 2pm to5.
