Chinese New Year 2015
The year of the sheep was celebrated last February 09, 2015 by our tsinoy countrymen with so much pomp that the streets were full of tsinoy and Filipinos alike.
The streets were lined with the traditional tikoys(now with so much variety and colors. The scene was filled with the cacophony of colors red,yellow and lately the color violet is increasingly dominant,much influenced by the very successful Eng bee tin brand which the owner's son in a TV interview said they owed much to their novel product, the Ube hopia.
The variety of foods and fruits gave the street of binondo a real fiesta atmosphere with foreign and local tourists having the opportunity to take their pictures and selfies taken with the very colorful backgrounds to send to their friends here and abroad.It was also a rare chance to be able to sample the Chinese dishes and delicacies available now in only one area to savor.
The different Dragons with their crazy colors serenade some of the bigger establishments and this gave the hordes of photographers,pros and amateurs alike to have their photo ops.even the ordinary folks with their smartphone were not to be denied.the festival is a huge success and showed our intertwined culture with our Tsinoy brothers.

HANBOK DEFINED - raymond lim I am sure that with the proliferation of Korean telenovelas these days, We are more or less familiar with the modern and ancient Korean culture.we love their modern love stories but also their legendary characters on their historical novelas.we can't help but admire their costumes that have its distinct difference from their Chinese and Japanese counterpart .If the Chinese have their hanfu,and the Japanese have their kimonos, then the Koreans call their costumes as "Handok". How many have seen "jewel in the palace"? This is the TV series that opened up our consciousness to the Korean culture. Hanbok,the traditional clothing of Korea was established as a part of the unique living culture of Korea, inuenced by the geographical and climatic nature of the Korean peninsula and handed down throughout the years to present times.hanbok is also referred to as Korean traditional clothing or folk clothing. Hanbok basically consists of a jeogori(jacket) and bank(trousers),showing northern Scythian natures.the style of hanbok is closer to the style of the nomadic tribes of the border countries of western China who wore jeogori and bank, than that of the agricultural society of China where people wore jeogori and China(skirt),the origins of hanbok can be found recorded on a wall painting of an ancient tomb of Goguryeo.
The basics of hanbo are similar to the basic clothing of the northern horse riding nomadic tribes and was developed to be suitable for a cold climate and a nomadic life.jeogori stretches down to the waist,with long and narrow sleeves for both men and women.Koreans wore wide or narrow baji,adjusted their dress with a belt or a leather strap, put jeolpungmo or dugeon over their head and wore long boots called Wha that were made for horse riding. The clothing culture of Korea was inuenced by new clothing cultures throughout the multiple invasions from foreign countries but its. basic structure has been well preserved in history.
The Korean Cultural Festival is designed to encourage more Koreans to wear the country's traditional costume and enhance their love of things uniquely korean as part of the efforts made by the ministry of culture sports and tourism.presently there is a serious effort by the korean government to commercialize and globalize the country's six leading items namely hangeul(korean alphabet), hansik(korean traditional food),hanbok(korean traditional clothing),hanok(korean traditional housing)hanji(korean traditional paper)and hangul eumak.(korean traditional music.) - raymond lim
