I took this picture this year, don't know why it's not snake though

Chinese New Year or maybe, more correctly Lunar New Year or Spring Festival (probably more politically correct version to it I suppose) is not a public holidays in Australia, unfortunately. However, at least it was on the weekend. Thanks to Little P and family, this year is the most festival new year for me in Australia.

Anyway, here are some pictures of Chinatown in Melbourne on days closed to Lunar New Year. If you are wondering, yes, there isn't much sign of any festival at all...






Side note: Happy Lunar New Year... and yay for the weekend!
