Happy Lunar New Year 2013! Welcoming the Year of the Snake

Although I believe the actual lunar new year has already passed, Adelaide was a bit late to the party and held its’ celebration today.

This year is the Year of the Snake, and for Adelaide it was a larger than usual celebration with the whole of Gouger Street closed off to traffic. Unfortunately for the event it was incredibly hot today – around 34 or so, and the sun was intense. With most of the stalls and food areas out on Gouger there was little to no shade, resulting in us heading home early to escape the heat.

It was rather fun though wandering around the stalls and seeing some of the performances and cosplayers for the short time we were there. Hopefully next year the organisers will be able to do something similar with closing off Gouger – but if we’re lucky we’ll have slightly cooler weather.
