Buddhist festival (English)


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...???
