Maybe you are one of those people who every few years goes to Chinatown to see the Chinese New Year parade where they dress up like dragons and dance. Fun right?
I used to think so as well, but imagine being able to do it every week and sometimes more than once a week! But now you are saying "Sounds great, but how will i know which day it's happening?" Well fear not, because they will let you know that morning at 6am by setting off firecrackers for two hours.
"Oh great, now i'm up, but with my busy schedule how will i be able to take the time to see it?" Well no worries, because they will come to you and make your day even busier! they will go around the neighborhood and slow all traffic to a crawl so it will take you much longer to get to work, leaving you plenty of time to observe them on your commute to work. good thing they woke you up so early so that you could leave an hour earlier for work so you can get there on time!
"I worry that they won't come to my street, and i'm stuck in the office all day so I won't be able to see it." Do you have ears? Well then they've got you covered. Even it you can't make it to the window to see the parade, you'll sure as heck be able to hear the high pitch squeal of their recorded horn music blasting out of 30 year old speakers on the backs of their jeeps. Deaf? Don't worry, they will be banging their oversize drums all day long so you'll be able to feel the excitement.
So what are you waiting for!? Come over to Taiwan and enjoy the wonder and joy of seeing 72 parades a year!
