A few days ago I heard some enthousiastic music while I was sitting in my room doing probably nothing very important. First I thought someone living on our floor was listening to music, and did not really pay any attention.
It took a few minutes for me to realize that the sound was coming from the outside and I decided to take a look out of the window. There I saw some people marching in what seemed to be Buddhist costumes. Mark and I decided to go downstairs and have a look:
Buddhism must be fun, as this attractive young lady was part of the ceremony, singing Chinese songs
Although it was a very spiritual happening, the state had to be present to regulate the heavy traffic passing by the ceremony, here the police...
...and here the traffic
chewing betel nuts, is also a good way to get to different spheres
the march as seen from my room...
...and from a perspective a little closer
don't be scared, this is... actually I don't know, who knows it???? Leave a comment?
What is Mark taking pictures of? Maybe a beautiful singer...???

Hey,flo! This is not a buddhism festival, neither did these people wear Buddhist costumes. The costumes are from a traditional Chinese Opera--in mainland China, we call it "Beijing Opera".The scaring-look face is special Opera Mask, with which the players act into historical characters.You can find more of them here:http://www.jingjuok.com/lp/lp1/new_page_1.htm I guess this is more like a commercial or promotion in which people use both Opera actors and popular singers. Well, anyway, it looks very interesting and funny!
