We just finished a 2 week long Chinese Lunar New Year celebration, and Melbourne was full of festivities. Though Debbie doesn't have the means, nor skills for that matter, to cook the traditional and yummy foods her mom makes during the New Year period, she and Whit have compromised by eating an abundance of Chinese suppers and snacks. Debbie is also enjoying being able to say "Happy New Year" a month later and not get any strange looks.
Southbank, turned Chinese market for the weekend, selling everything from fresh sugarcane juice to incense sticks and fortune telling. I'll only take the former, pls.
This was truly a hilarious sight- there was petting zoo set up with animals from the Chinese zodiac and kids were running around inside trying to pick up chickens to proudly display to their parents. Meanwhile the parents were cringing at what the kids were stepping in. Not too sure where the lama looking animal animal fits in to the zodiac ...
Gates of Chinatown! It was so crowded that day, it really felt like we were in China!
