Oh, I forgot!

So I forgot to mention, while we were at Tyne Saturday market, walking around, shopping and haggling for trinkets to bring back, suddenly music came from a speaker attached to a building and everyone stopped in there tracks and looked, everyone, still. I think it was the national anthem. You could have gone screaming down the road like a banshee and no one would have moved a muscle. Then as soon as it ended, the streets came alive again!

Also, it's Chinese new year so there were children dressed up with hitherto big colorful dragon running through the streets.
