Chinese New Year Carnival at Box Hill

Saturday, 24 January 2009

Johanna and I drove to Box Hill on the Saturday before Chinese New Year to have a look at the Chinese New Year Carnival over there. We had witness the Vietnamese one at Richmond one week ago and was expecting something bigger and better as Box Hill is literally a "Chinatown", where the whole town is full of Chinese - from the people to the shops, etc.

However, to our disappointment, the carnival wasn't that great. Other than some stalls selling food, there wasn't much to see. We left after only one hour.
