2011 Chinese New Year's Celebration 新春晚会

2011年的新年，第一次在国外庆祝。以前，总是认为新年没什么，就只是发闷；现在，体验了没有亲人在身旁的新年，心里顿时特别思念亲人-正所谓“每逢佳节倍思亲” - 我终于可以深深感受。

This was my first experience to celebrate Chinese New year oversea. In the past, I always thought that new year was boring. But, I have changed my mind. I missed my family and friends badly during the new year.

为了让自己的新年并不是太寂寞，便参加了Plymouth's College举办的春节晚会。这个晚会，基本是我们中国同学所承办的。一张6磅的票，包含了入场，自助餐，表演节目及吃饺子。

I joined a spring festival's party that organized by Plymouth's College. The main purpose was to reduce my loneliness. This party basically organized by a bunch of chinese students from China. The ticket cost 6 pound, including entrance fee, buffet, entertainment show, and free dumpling.

这个晚会还蛮热闹的。前排的座位多留给了VIPs.所以，要拍照很有难度，因为前面都有人会挡住你的焦点。拍了不是很多，况且我们提早离开了。上半段的表演，蛮精彩的。表演包括了舞狮，武夫表演，古筝表演，相声，独唱，大合唱等等。

I was said that the party was quite happening. The front seats were reserved for VIPs. It challenged me to take a nice photos during the party due to audiences blocked the view. Therefore, I didn't manage to take more photos. We also left earlier. On the first half of the show, we managed to enjoy some great performance such as lion dance, martial art performance, zither performance, comic, solo, choir and etc.
