There is a big event in our Chinese community.  That is Taiwan Festival which held on Today and Tomorrow in Upper Mt Gravatt Showgrounds. I went to there this afternoon, that is great. A lot of people went there too.

When I entered the showgrounds, the scale of this event is quite big. I saw a lot of rides in there too! I think the kids would love them!

Moreover, there are a few counter to provide traditional Taiwanese Food, such as Cold Noodles and Tofu pudding.

I spent $2 to buy three fried cuttlefish balls, that was tasty!

Besides of food, this festival is about Taiwan. Traditional Taiwanese Performance is “must have” such as Taiwanese Puppet shows. I saw a part of that too!

This event is great.  But if you plan to go there, please aware that is hard to find a park spot in the showgrounds.

Last night, I was in City around 9 pm. I saw there is a lot of King George Square. Those people were attending Winter Festival. The most of people were lining up for ice skating. I think that is because Winter Festival will end on 1/7. Thus, even that is late, they were still very keen to attending this festival.

Today is very very cold. The winter has arrived. That is also the time from Winter Festival which started from 8 June to 1 July.

I went to the place to held this festival, King George. I wish to check it out.

Firstly, I went to their major attractive, the huge skating ground! Brisbane won’t be snowing. Thus, a lot of people go to this skating ground to enjoy icy winter! But that doesn’t come with free. The entry fee is $29.

If you do not know how to skate, that won’t be boring. Besides the skating ground, there are a few cabins. They are food shops which have a lot of delicious food, such as wood fire pizza and German Sausage.

In addition, there are some free stuff. Inside Lipton Tent, there is Chai Latte giveaway! I grabbed a cup of free Chai Latte too. That is tasty and good to have this during a cold day!

Moreover, inside the tent, you can watch the people skating as well. That is so cool.

This festival has various performance, please find further details from their website.  You should not miss this!

Yesterday, I was walking around City. I found there is a street market in King George Square. This is market for Brisbane artists. There are some handcraft from artists, that is different from other street markets. That will be fun to shop over there!
