A few weeks ago they celebrated Children's Day here. All the school kids get a day off school, many of the shops hand out little treats to the kids, and there are parades all over the city. Early that morning, our neighbors came by and asked if we wanted to go with them to a parade. 20 minutes later we were on our way. We got there about 30 minutes after the parade was supposed to start. There were many different groups of school children standing on the stadium field waiting to perform. An hour later, they finally started marching around the outside of the field. Our neighbor turned to us and said, "It's all the same, are you ready to leave!" Zeke wasn't so ready to leave, since there was finally something to watch, but lunch and playing at a park quickly made up for it!
