Last weekend was one of the funnest weekends I've had here yet. I have always dreamed of watching the dragons in the chinese new year parade ever since I've watched Whats Up Doc as a little girl....it was awesome! At first we couldn't see a thing because there were a million people there and the majority of my family (all but my husband) are incredibly short. So after 1 patient hour or so, we worked our way up to the very front, plastered against the metal blockade. Oh was it worth the wait! We saw about 5 big dragons and 10 little ones, not to mention Ronald McDonald (beck's favorite place to sup, and his favorite clown).
If you want to see the dragon in action too, I posted a video just for you! I swear, I didn't mean for that to rhyme.
ah! looks like so much fun :)

I ache for cultural things like this.Our population in Tasmania is not multicultural, so we have to travel over the water to experience such lovelies.

Oh my gosh, What's Up Doc is my favorite movie ever. Barbra Streisand and Ryan O'neal inside the chinese dragon on that bike?! HILARIOUS.

Thank you for referencing What's Up Doc - a classic! This parade looks so fun - I want to make sure I go to one sometime too.
ReplyDeleteMakes me miss San Francisco all over again. Growing up in the Bay Area, working in SF for 3 years, I just love it there. Lucky you.
