Eternity Ceremony in my city=]

Last night I went to the "Zuoying" to see the "Fireworks show" and the "Water dancing show". It called "Eternity Ceremony", in Chinese is 萬年祭.

It's the traditional holiday in Kaohsiung city, and in the past there were a lot of street vendors, you can watch the fireworks display and eat a lot of Taiwanese snacks, on the other hand, Lotus Lake is also a favorite for Japanese tourists, I don't know why they like to visit there, in addition to Chinese architecture and culture, they may prefer the spirit and culture of religion. Taiwanese are very devout worship the gods(it doesn't mean only Jesus), our temple is different from China, they are simply used to make tourists money, they don't believe in any religion, yet we do belive all religion and respect it, it may sounds strange to Westerns and Muslims.

Oh~This year is different from previous years, our mayor "Cheng Chu" lead us dance "Taike dancing(台客舞)". Since her held the 2009 world games successful, Kaohsiung people became more and more like her. It more than hundred thousand people to dance "Taike dancing". Even the architect "伊東豐雄(TOYO ITO)" said that we can dance "Taike dancing(台客舞)" to compete with the "阿波おどり" from Japan.

阿波踊り(awa odori) is held from 12 to 15 August as part of the Obon festival in Tokushima Prefecture on Shikoku in Japan.





Tokushima people always say,"dancing the 阿波 is stupid, yet just looking is a big fool", if you have the opportunity to Tokushima, do you want to be stupid or a big fool? It's up to you, haha=)
