For Chinese New Year, the Lantern Festival came to Albert Park in the centre of town. By 'lanterns', I mean all manner of complicated and fantastic animals and scenery assembled from thin, brightly-colored fabric shells stretched over wire forms. At night they're lit up from within by strategically-placed lights.
Lantern festivities took place too late at night to allow for proper appreciation by the children, so we strolled through the park during the day.

Mama, I think that might be a real horse.
We spent a good five minutes checking whether any of these were real sheep.
Amiri does not appear in the last two photos because there was a small possibility that these were real dragons, and he wasn't about to take his chances by getting too close.
