CANADA-CHINA-SCOTLAND-NEW YEAR
TO GO WITH AFP STORY CANADA-CHINA-SCOTLAND BY DEBORAH JONES
This handout photo received on February 5, 2008 shows musician Todd Wong in Vancouver, British Columbia. Chinese New Year celebrations began here last month with the skirl of Scottish bagpipes, and will wrap up Sunday as Chinese dragons parade alongside South Asian dancers.The Scottish-Chinese merging is visible year-long, with a Gung Haggis Fat Choy team in popular local dragon-boat races. Gung Haggis Fat Choy was begun in 1994 by local resident Todd Wong, who was a student and tour guide at Simon Fraser University at the time and decided that the coincidence of Scottish poet Robbie Burns birthday and Chinese New Year occurring within days of each other was a good reason for a party. For the past decade, Wong has organized an annual feast, attended by some 400 residents of all ethnicities, that merges traditional Scottish and Chinese foods, Scottish music and dragon dances.
