Oh, do I get to eat them here!! 
Last Sunday, I dragged a colleague over to Victoria Street, which
was closed to traffic for a day, for CNY celebrations! They had a
daytime Pasar Malam and there were tons of stalls out on the
streets hawking food and more food! Bak Kua (Vietnamese-style, not
as nice, WHEN is our own local bak kwa stalls franchising here?
), Gu Chai Kueh (Chive
Cakes), Chai Tow Kueh, Satay, Taiwanese Sausages, Ice Sugar Cane
Water, BBQ Chicken Wings, etc etc! 
We were good - we shared everything and we ate very
little. 
My colleague had her first
coconut too!
Too bad we went from work, otherwise, I would've brought along my
digicam and gone on a few of the amusement rides! 
I've decked out my living room and bedroom with one large red
Chinese foldout lantern each. 
They're quite pretty with lovely designs and a tassel.
I've been buying Pineapple Tarts since Bear's sister brought one
container of them over to my place. They're made by a Malaysian
living here. A$2.50 for 6, not bad!
Tons of the typical Chinese New Year goodies being sold in Chinese
- Asian shops here. Don't have a craving for most of the stuff
though. Melbourne is amazing... it truly is my new home now!
