Friday was the eve of the eve of chinese new year and some members of the SRF headed down to chinatown to join in on the celebrations.
The night started at hippo lounge for a drink, then we headed down to belmore park to the hawker's central food markets. There were several food stalls from various restaurants around Sydney, serving a number of asian dishes. So we got a bite to eat and enjoyed the atmosphere of chinese women singing, dancing etc.
Here is Matt and Flit with the big cock (last year was the year of the rooster).
We were making our way down to chinatown for the night markets when we came across a guy making balloon animals. they were the most amazing balloon animal creations i and everyone else had ever seen, and he was so fast at making them too. margaret couldnt resist and chose the road runner for herself. He was very impressive.
The chinatown markets were a hive of activity with stalls selling food, lanteens, toys, games etc. Several of us made some purchases for example...... a big pencil for trivia.
The star bar was the next destination, where many drinks and jokes were had, to the early hours of the morning.
It was a great night and i wish a happy new year to all.

If it were not for our lovely Victorian sojourn, I would feel pretty jealous about this one. Looks like my cup of tea!
On our way home we ran into Nero at the secret pie shop in Crowie. After a brief catch up (he's been in the UK for a month) we walked home....Not without some hooliganism on the way though!!!
Our landlady's front wall now has a little message written on it with a large novelty pencil....
Couldn't resist!
