I had so much fun doing my Year of the Tiger weekly photo blog and enjoy looking back at all that we did during the year that I've decided to do it all again in the Year of the Rabbit...

Week 51 - New Years Eve, Jinqiao
We rugged up for our first outing in true winter. We escaped some of the long Shanghai winter by staying in Australia for a few extra weeks past Christmas, and have dropped 25 degrees to venture out in 1 degree cold today. It's funny to think that the last time we were outside we were running around in shorts and sundresses... and now hats, scarves and gloves. Didi wasn't quite prepared to ditch his crocs just yet!!
The silly season has started and we can hear firecrackers and see fireworks from our building. The Year of the Rabbit has been a good one for us, and seemingly quick! Happy Chinese new year to you!! Xinnian kuaile!!
Week 50 - Boomerang Princess, Healesville
As part of our Australian holiday, Mum, Dad and I took the kids to Healesville Sanctuary in the Yarra Valley to see koalas, kangaroos, dingoes, platypus and an amazing free flight bird show. After the bird show, this man came out and played the didgeridoo (an aboriginal musical instrument) and demonstrated boomerang throwing. At the end of his show he said, and I quote "If you'd like to buy a boomerang I have some for sale here for $15, but at the end of the show I like to give away my boomerang to the girl with the most beautiful smile" and then proceeded to walk all the way around the arena and climbed over seats in front to Jie Jie, and said to her "Here you go Princess, you're beautiful". Jie Jie was gobsmacked, and Didi was very jealous. Loads of people bought them, and then we went down and he gave her a quick throwing lesson. Jie Jie couldn't get the smile off her face all day!! Highlight of our visit to Healesville!!

Week 49 - I want ABC4kids, East Malvern
This move is straight from Grandma if the children don't listen to her when she speaks and they were watching TV. The pout is model's own due to disappointment that his grandfather was insisting on watching adult TV as opposed to ABC4kids, which as you can tell by the darkness outside is probably long since finished for the evening.

Week 48 - Queens Bridge, Melbourne
We walked from Flinders Street Station to the Aquarium to see the new Sharks and Shipwrecks exhibit, and this bridge with the sunshine and the light caught my attention.
The colour of the water in the Yarra caught Jie Jie's attention - why is the water brown Mum?
