Backyard Fairs & Green Kung Fu Men

This afternoon my flatmate JP told me that the neighbouring suburb was having a town fair. When we arrived at the supposed location there wasn't a person or fair in sight. We headed down a little alleyway and came out at a small park that backed on to a culdesac of houses. And there was the small backyard fair.

They had a cake stall, barbeque with FREE sausages, a push play van for the kids, a medieval reenactment group and a kung fu demonstration.

Leading the Kung Fu demonstration was a man dressed completely in a black suit, black baseball cap and sunglasses. The music he was doing it to was some sort of weird monotone chanting. But, the weirdest part was he was GREEN! Seriously!

The common rumour I heard was that he was actually a zombie, or perhaps a vampire. It really was creepy. You know when you get paint or vivid on your skin and it takes several washes to get it off because it's stained your skin?! That's what this dude looked like.

I tried to get a pic of him, but I was too far away and to creeped out to get any closer for fear that he may actually suck my blood!

Meanwhile, there was several kids dressed up, looking gorgeous. I did get this one of a little wizard and his bumble bee Mum.



Unfortunetly following the medieval re-enactment, the cake bake off winner annoucement and watching little kids being forced to participate in a dancing demonstration, I was too cold to stay any longer. We escaped as quickly as possible, back up the alleyway in search of caffiene and warmth.

Backyard fairs and Green Kung Fu Men - A different sunday afternoon that's for sure.
