Chinese New Year in Oamaru
17 Feb 2018 08:15 pmI've been meaning to catch up with my photo backlog, but hey, here are some from this evening!
I just got back from a wonderful time at the Chinese New Year celebrations in the Oamaru Gardens down the hill from us. There was lots of yummy food, we were entertained by beautiful dances, and I even scored a relaxing massage for a donation. It was a brilliant evening - no fireworks though because there's a fire ban this summer.
I should add: the cultural dance group from Dunedin was led by... a Dr Hu!
It was enormous fun, and tomorrow there's yet more with a steampunk octopus hunt, also in the gardens.

( Four more photos of dancers )
