Ah that sucks that you don’t have a Chinatown near by!!
Here in Melbourne, I go to the Casino, they throw all these parties for it for the whole week… It’s awesome!!!
You should definately organise it in advanced one year.. You’ll have heaps of fun..
I wouldn’t know what else to do, except throwing a Chinese themed party, but you’ve already said that wasn’t in the cards..
Hope you have a fun time though!!
