This is the first time I’m spending Chinese New Year in Sydney! Even though I was a little tired from my flight back from Taipei, I decided to check out the decorations at Chinatown. Oddly, Chinatown looked the same as usual and didn’t seem particularly festive. Feeling a little perplexed, I wandered over to the Chinese Garden of Friendship at the nearby Darling Harbour in the hope that it would be more festive. It wasn’t, but the garden is still a nice place to visit.
