Culture Fair

Yesterday afternoon, No. 1 Middle School hosted a Culture Fair and a few local schools were invited to participate. I wandered around the event for a little while, taking pictures, before Jean-Jacques met up with me. There's not much need to say more, since I think the photos do the best job of describing the scene.

Traditional Chinese costumes

Calligraphy

Easter eggs?

Emperor Jean-Jacques (he also caused much laughter when he put on the costume)

    The colors are awesome. Some of those pictures deserve to be blown-up and printed; they would make cool classroom decoration.

    Awesome pictures. The hats are quite interesting. I wonder where they come up with those kinds of hats - gotta have some meaning.

    Thanks for the pictures

    Richard, I am definitely planning to make prints of many of my pictures. I think I'll make a big Costco order when I get back.

    Debbie, there is some kind of meaning to the hats. They all come from different dynasties and time periods. They told me something about each outfit, but I don't remember all they said.
