Bye Bye, Bunny! Hello, Dragon!

Happy Chinese New Year!

Chinatown was a-bustling when we were there for yum cha lunch yesterday, the eve of the new Dragon Year. I was suprised to see that the City of Sydney had kept their bunny float from last year. And how the fabric dragon-makers have jumped on the neon brights trendwagon too. Haha. They've always used neon paint but always on darker colours like the auspicious red or orange. White, in Chinese culture, is a colour usually associated with funerals but I guess if it gives the acid colours a louder "pop", why not? Moving with the times!

Have a bright Dragon Year!

2 came to play:

Gong Hey Fatt Choy!

Really? A pal from Singapore sends me Chinese horoscope predictions every year but not this year so I don't know what's up, man. Haha. xx
