It is the Chinese New year and the Chinese and Asian community in Brisbane celebrated it in style.
We watched Kung Fu, Lion Dancers and several other Asian dances. The crowds were shoulder to shoulder and the fathers hauled their children onto their shoulders so they could see the action. Very difficult to get any photos, but I did notice some interesting windows.
After strolling round the market stalls we found a shady Vietnamese restaurant, a cool oasis to have lunch.

Dawn from “The day after” challenges us to look for windows and post them here each week. Maybe you have some you can show us.
Visit here to look through more windows from around the world.

It was just crowded for the Chinese New Year, we only stayed a short while, a bit too crowded for us…

The atmosphere was great but not for photos so just absorbed the ambience 🙂
