Fun with Maps Picture Page - Interesting People at Lunar new Year posing with map of Asia

The Lunar New Year or Spring Festival is commonly referred to as Chinese New Year, Tet in Vietnamese, Seollal in Korean, Losar in Tibet, and Tsagaan Sar in Mongolian. There was a two-day celebration of Lunar New Year at Asia Plaza as we entered the Year of the Wood Snake.

ClevelandPeople.com was honored to be a Media Sponsor and have a table at the event. We brought our large map of Asia and it was very busy with people studying it and posing in front of it. As we like to do, we asked people to pose while pointing to the land of their heritage on the map. We were very happy at the diversity of people and made a lot of friends! The heritages included China, Burma (Myanmar), Malaysia, Korea, Japan, Philippines, Thailand, Laos, India, Indonesia, Taiwan and more.

Here are some more pictures of interesting people showing their heritage on the map of Asia.
