NC Hmong New Year
Posted on 29 November 2009
I just got back from the North Carolina Hmong New Year late last night and was super tired, although I did sleep in the car during that 4 long hours in the car, I was still super tired! anyways…
First off, how was everyone’s Thanksgiving? Mine was good, I had a good time spending it with the family! My whole imediate family was there which includings our family and my dad’s younger sister’s family and my dad’s younger brother’s family. We had pho on Wednesday night, yumm! then on Thursday morning we had brunch then for dinner we had Turkey! My mom’s yummy turkey! We took some photos, I’ll post them once I finish editing them!
anywho….
I was at the North Carolina New Year Celebration on Friday and Saturday, just got back home late last night and still is super tired from the long drive and the tiring days. I was dressed up on Friday for about ummm, I say 2 hours, then my feet was starting to hurt because I was in high heels and the rocks were not doing so well on my feet and it was very windy and cold so I gave up on it and changed to something nice and warm. I pretty much just walked around the new year and then spent the majority of my time watching the dance competition and then we headed to my aunt’s uncle’s house and spent the night there. I actually went out with a friend of mine and then met up with two of my Georgia friends, in fact I saw a lot of Georgia people!
Day two for me, but day three for the celebration, I didn’t do much, I got there saw, two of my friends, one of them is considered my sister in law, and we talked for a bit then went down to the entertainment area and met some people and then we all split up. I pretty much just stayed around the entertainment area and just watch the end of the dance competition and also the guy’s handsome competition LOL… I thought the winners were well deserved between the two competitions.
As always the food there was great! Hmong sausage with purple rice and peppers and papaya, yummm! thats what I always end up eating when I am at Hmong events! LOL
So I stole these pictures from Nye Noona since I didnt bring my camera I wasn’t able to take any pictures. Click here for her entire post.

Ze, after reading your other comment, made me think that it’s you that I saw. I posted your picture at the reply comment at my blog, check to see if it’s you.
Too bad that you didn’t have your camera, it was fun taking pictures but was kind of dusty after awhile, my lens was covered with red dust.
