There are no air of festivities around here. We have not found any Chinatown here, and the closest we have discovered of a Chinese community is the Dragon-mart, you guess it, is a mall. Carrefour at the Mall of the Emirates has really large signs selling fruits at CNY promotional prices, and yes, a fair bit of Mandarin oranges too. You cannot expect much more; even Deepavali here is quite muted and most people here are from the Subcontinent.
The biggest display of CNY I have found is in the girls' school. Our two girls have been "volunteered" into a song item on the 27th. We would not be there to see them perform though. It is a pupils and teachers only event.
