Happy Mid-Autumn Festival Pt.2

So first part of the events was the moon-cake. Part ll it seems was the lanterns and Fire Dragon Dance.
月見団子の後はチョウチンと火を噴く竜の踊り。

The lanterns were conveniently very close to the club house so it was an easy walk. It was really pretty with the full moon and energy of the people all admiring the lights and the atmosphere of such events. Shame I was with my team mate Dyron so it was not romantic at all...
チョウチンの場所はクラブハウスから近く楽に歩けた。満月の夜、美しいチョウチンの明かりを見にたくさんの人のエネルギーで賑わう。残念ながらチームメイトのディロンと出かけたので、僕にとってはロマンチックじゃなかった。


Here are the pictures of the lanterns

Also made a wish but i cant share that....
一つ願いが叶うなら。。。秘密。



Thats some of the photos from that walk.

But before that we went to watch the Fire dragon dance. I was so lucky I got to see it as i didn't know of it until the day when i was told by Asli Colette. It isn't like any other dragon dance ive seen before. It was a extremely long and was stabbed with hundreds of incense.  It was more of a smoke dragon but it was really fun. We got there just on time and watch the pre-show drums and children walking with lanterns and then the dragon came. Now the best thing about my team mate is that he is 195cm... and when in Hong Kong that is very handy when taking pictures in large crowds. So he naturally became the camera man for the night.
竜の踊りを見に行く寸前に初めてこのことを聞いた。Asli Coletteが教えてくれた。他にも見たことあったけどこれは今までのものより一番長くたくさんのお香にさされていた。だから火というより煙に囲まれた竜だったよ。ショーが始まる寸前だったから子供達や太鼓のパフォマーンスがありそして竜の登場。チームメイトは195CM。香港でかなり役立つ身長。大勢の人ごみの中、楽に写真が撮れた。

Hope you enjoy the pictures and the video.
写真とヴィデオを観てください。

  1. Paris,

    Congrats on your first start of the season and the team's first win. I don't know if you read Mr. Lo's blog (Probably not, since it is written in Chinese). But Mr. Lo is very impressed with your attitude both on the field and off the field. Good job!
