Thursday was the
chinese holiday of
tuen ng, during which the
dragon boat races take place. They happen to occur 0.01 miles down the street at
stanley main beach. Apparently 10,000 people come to
stanley to take part in or view the races. Luckily, we could see from the roof deck which saved a lot of pushing and shoving. They started at 8am and finished around 4-5pm. Around 8pm, i decided to walk down to
stanley main street to check out the festivities. The place was packed- with a live band, mass quantities of very lubricated people, and trophies. I'm glad i made it down there even though i was by myself and it was raining. It was quite easy to meet people!

A group of 60 racers (three teams total) who used our garage for a preparation spot. They gave the girls hats and posed for pictures afterwards.

This looks like a lot of fun. Go Steph! Your outfits are so cute every time I see a picture of you.
Thanks Nora! I was SOAKING wet too- the sleeve of my shirt is all floppy, and my hair is stringy!
