Box Hill CNY Festival

Just went to have a look at the CNY festival in Box Hill, which was expecting about 60,000 people this time. Surely enough, there were quite a lot of people! We can hardly walk through the crowds!

Surely, the Council used Whitehorse Road instead of just Main Street which has created more space but it's still quite lacking. There were plenty of prams around as well. Not sure why they bother to bring their babies to such events? The babies wouldn't know anything? It's creating lots of "traffic" problems too!

Only went there around 7+pm as both of us were tired after whole day's work. Didn't get to see the actual opening ceremony or lion dance. But no regrets as I think we wouldn't be able to see anything anyway!

The food stalls were not as many as expected and most of them are selling roughly the same items. So, a bit disappointed in the food varieties. It's basically very frusfrating to even buy something to eat as we all know Chinese doesn't really have the habits of queueing up! It's the survival of the fittest, or should say survival of the selfish?
