CHINESE NEW YEAR. THE YEAR OF THE HORSE

South Melbourne markets on the weekend on the Chinese New Year celebrations.
Two lions were going through the market stalls they choose a stall and enter it, it is suppose to bring good luck and prosperity, then the lion throws cabbage leaves into the stall as it is leaving.

Fireworks over the Yarra river on Sat 1st feb,
they had lots of food stalls, performers, chinese lions and crowds of people near the Crown Casino.
The fireworks went on for about 15 mins, Andreas is not bothered about fireworks but I do enjoy them

The Year of the Horse, this was inside the Crown Casino.
We went into the casino for a drink but as you can imagine the place was packed, people everywhere.
We have been in Melbourne now for a fourth time in the last few months and we have only been in the casino for a drink, no gambling at all.
