Photographer's Note
This is how Chinese people in Jakarta celebrate their New Year. First They went to the temple, wishing for a blessing for this new year and then visiting their family around by giving present called "angpao."
Though it was a cloudy and rainy day and the temple was covered with the smog of what they called "dupa", it personally was a deep cheery day for me. Since it was the first time I visiting a temple of Kong Fu Tze, I intensely enjoyed the day, the ceremonial and the place.
Taking a shot on that time was a bit tricky because the smog was a big difficulty to cope with as you can see a man with camera at the bottom left corner.
Happy Chinese New Year
