Where to try out Chinese Chess ?

Where on earth can one be trying out Chinese Chess (Xiangqi) and celebrating The Year of the Dog at the same time?

A hint from this blog: it is on Sunday 29th January 2006, that is tomorrow !

Join the Victoria & Albert Museum, Cromwell Road, South Kensington, London SW7 2RL, from around 11.00am to 17.00pm at Raphael Court. Meet the strong and enthusiastic Xiangqi players and play/or learn to play some friendly games.

At the same time, again at Raphael Court, there will be other attractive programmes including tea tasting and ceremony, noodle pulling, fruit and vegetable carving, Chinese abacus demonstration.

While in the Lecture Theatre, there will be performances of Lion Dance, Shaolin Kung Fu, Chinese opera, folk dance, acrobats and even a magic show !
