Rotary Friendship Exchange - Rotary District 5960

We were about to get on our tour bus again when a parade started in the street. There were about 25 to 30 trucks similar to the one
below and each was decorated in similar ways. Some had a small band on board. Some had cymbals and drums. They made quite a
bit of noise including some firecrackers. I took some 10-second movies of the parade.

Next we went to a market area in town to see the Lantern Festival Parade. There were the usual shops along both sides of the
street. Each shop was probably about 500 square feet. Certainly, the shops were no bigger. Again, you could buy almost anything
in these shops. While at the market, one of our team members found some stones laying behind a building and picked them up.
