After mask-making in Art today, the boys' Art teacher (an ex-pat who is home schooling her daughter, and with whom we sometimes trade days) continued the Chinese New Year theme by leading a money-burning ceremony (fake, don't worry!) for the dead.
The boys decided to burn their stack of 100s for "Great Grandpa, Jasper, Spencer and our Grandma Carola"!

Afterwards, we went to Barrio Chinois in Belgrano, only to be told by a laughing local that the actual festivities don't take place until tomorrow night! ;-P
The kids enjoyed looking in all the shops anyway, and after a popsicle, we headed home. Will come back for the fireworks and celebrations tomorrow night...
