Bagpipes in Hong Kong
Something about hearing bagpipes didn't alarm me. It's a busy dense city. You hear a lot of stuff. But after a while of bagpipes, I finally looked out my 6th floor window.
How great is this city? You don't have to go anywhere. The excitement comes to you! When's the last time I looked out a window and saw a parade?
After watching it a while from up high, I went outside to see it up close. Hong Kong is crowded enough as it is. Close the streets and put on a parade...it's only going to get worse. I never figured out what the parade was for, but every marching band that could possibly exist was there. It kept going on and on. One group after another....sweating profusely. It was around 90 degrees, as humid as it gets, and these kids (lots of elementary and high school bands) were marching thru town carrying huge instruments and wearing these full uniforms. It was uncomfortable just standing in the shade. At least these guys had hats on.
