The year of the rat :) There is a large Asian population in Australia and the Chinese New Year was on February 7th with lots of festivities on the weekend. I made it down to Darlingharbor to see bits of the parade and the show (pics below). It was a beautiful weekend - finally no RAIN. Despite no rain there still were a lot of umbrellas out, I found it funny to look over the crowd and see so many.... :)
The guy below is just another street performer - very funny. I've seen him a few times now - hes up a that huge unicycle and the little girl was a volunteer that is throwing torches up to him, which he then juggled.
Left is my new found guilty pleasure - Afagato (shot of espresso, shot of Frangelico and gelato). UM - below is just an example of the divine meals here is Sydney. I went out to a publisher lunch on a Friday - another boozy lunch as they call it here :)
Left is a sunset and below is a sunrise (woke up, saw it and snapped a photo before going back to bed).
Left is a video of the parade - you can get the feel and vibe of the day
