Sydney Taiwan Festival 2017 - 雪梨台灣日嘉年華會 2017

Hi Steemians,

Yesterday the annual Sydney Taiwan Festival was held at Chatswood, Sydney and there were plenty of food, variety stores, games and performances on the main strip of the town. The whole of Chatswood was full of people as the festival was one of the popular ones held in the lower north shore.

昨天在悉尼一連兩天的一年一度雪梨台灣日嘉年華會在 Chatswood 舉行。在大街上面有很多食物檔口，紀念品，遊戲攤檔和不同的表演。在悉尼北岸這個嘉年華是非常受歡迎所以當天整個 Chatswood 都很多人。

There were plenty of stands with some great information promoting tourism in Taiwan and also loads of arts and crafts more related to the Chinese culture. I especially love the store where they were teaching you how to make paper lanterns as it is close the Chinese Moon Festival. When we were young we used to love playing with lanterns during the moon festival but unfortunately, not many people now days follow these traditions as they are considered 'old school' by my friends. There was also a stand promoting puppets, candy blowing and lots more.

這個嘉年華有很多不同宣傳台灣旅遊的信息和很多跟中國藝術文化有關的攤位。我非常喜歡一個攤檔教人做燈籠因為很快就是中秋節。我小時候，我非常愛玩燈籠但現在不是很多人有玩燈籠的習慣。我的朋友說我是很傳統。嘉年華裡還有其他攤檔比如做木偶的，吹糖，紙雕藝術等等。

There were some great performances on stage but there were just too many people so we didn't stay there for too long.

當天有很多表演而且很多都是很棒的。因為太多人的關係所以我們沒有逗留了很長時間

Another highlight were the games stands. Baby E was a bit too young to play some of the games but it was great to see other people have fun. The games were simple but people had a great time. There were surprisingly a lot of game stores which means the kids can also have fun at the festival.

另外一個亮點就是遊戲攤檔．因為BB E 年紀比較小所以沒有玩但看見其他人玩都很開心。很多遊戲其實很簡單但你可以看見每個人都玩得很開心。今年的遊戲攤檔比往年多 - 我想他們想小朋友都可以在這個活動有多點東西看和玩。

Lastly, the food stands are always popular at markets. The organisers not only have stores with Taiwanese cuisine, they also included other cuisines like Korean, Japanese and Chinese. The store with the longest line sold Taiwanese meat balls and sausages. The price was very acceptable which is why they were the most popular food stand. There was another store selling Taiwanese food but the prices was way too expensive which was a shame as they had some nice food just a bit pricy.
