2018 Chinese New Year Festival
I volunteered for the Chinese New Year Festival. There were some logistic issues not terribly smooth. No big deals, just a lot of surprises. What was on the agenda was not well communicated beforehand.
Otherwise things flew much better than last year's. One young mother told me she came every year, and liked this year a lot. Met a journalist from China Daily. He was mainly chatting with my hubby, and his wife and I were chatting. All was pleasant.
Had lots of young people signed up for volunteering. A notable difference though, the Chinese young men and women were mostly motivated by school assignments. They seemed to press a lot about the timing issue, such as can they get involved with many activities during such such period, etc. Non-Chinese people were simply doing it out of love for the art. Most of them volunteered for other organizations. Interesting!
