2010-05-09
After the mess with the festival the previous weekend, I was a bit nervous to go to another, but some friends went to the Ditan Folk Music Festival this weekend, so I joined them. You could bring your own food and drinks, and what resulted was an entirely relaxing afternoon with baguette, salami, and wine. Oh, and music. |
|
I parked my bike down at the south end of the park and wandered until I found the festival. (At the north end, of course!)
|
Lots of people out and about enjoying the pleasant spring weather.
|
Even some wedding photos!
|
|
This is cool. Some girl and her mom in a mini-electric car.
|
||
|
With the Canadian boyfriend tagging along behind.
|
"Yawn. I'm bored".
|
This is seriously the first lawn mower I have ever seen here in China. Normally ,they just use weed whacker things to cut the grass.
|
|
There's a little outdoor fair thingie here.
|
||
|
And then I finally got into the festival.
|
||
|
Light crowds, lots of mellow music, and plenty of grass and tree shade.
|
And this angry singing girl.
|
|
|
Pretty good.
|
||
|
Kids and adults alike.
|
||
|
Foreigners and locals alike.
|
Om nom nom nom.
|
|
|
"Ahahaha, I slay myself."
|
||
|
More mongolian throat singers.
|
||
|
This girl was having the time of her life blowing bubbles.
|
||
|
As the day got longer, I had to work my way back home.
|
Past the very delicious Hong Kong restaurant just south of the park.
