So I’ve been overtaken by some horrible bug, I left the house on Sunday for a few hours and went into town to check out the Chinese New Year celebrations.
It was a quite modest affair in Wolfe Tone Park near Jervis St, with some music and stalls and a dragon. It was great but I would have loved to have seen a hell of a lot more.
There was a Chinese pop singer and a troop doing a routine with a dragon. Parents and kids seemed to be everywhere buying balloons of Hello Kitty. I would have like d to have seen more traditional Chinese things happening. I know Chinese people buy toy fish because in their language it sounds like lucky or wealth. More of these things on display would have been great.
