Date: 10 May 2011
Venue: Cheung Chau
In May I was invited by Anna to attend the annual Bun Festival - she lives in Cheung Chau! It made things so much easier for me. I stayed a night at her house and went to work together with her the next day!
We were almost steamed alive… too hot, too sunny, but it was good for the buns!
Anna lives close to the main street, where the parade was to go on. We picked a bad spot because we got all the sun on us. Anna said “oh it was wrong calculation!” It certainly was!
Poor kids had to stand a few hours on a stick of metal. I can understand why some of them were looking upset or grumpy or emotionless. These 2 little kids were perfect actors, they were professionals!
There were quite some interesting things to see.
Bad photos, but I tried my best.
Anna and I had a walk along the coast. It was really nice and on our way back to her house, we ate some hot and freshly made buns!
There was a bit of a show going on too!
Before, during the contest and after - the perfect view at Anna’s balcony.
While the contest was going on, the other bun “trees” were being cleaned up.
