I went downtown on Sunday, Aug 3th. There was a great event at Robson Street called Pride Parade. There were lots of people. The streets, stores and cars were colorful. Many people dressed up funny. Some were also naked! Although it was hot at noon, everyone was enthusiastic and crazy. I thought it was the most awesome parade I’ve ever joined! I hope I could join the parade next year.         

August 4th was BC Day. It was a holiday, so we didn’t have to go to school. BC Day is to recognize the pioneers in the province. Statutory holidays, Provincial and territorial holidays and Civic holidays are some Canada important holidays.

Dragon Boat Festival, Mid- Autumn Festival and Double Tenth Festival are the important holidays in Taiwan. We have dragon boat race and we eat rice dumplings on Dragon Boat Festival.    Double Tenth Festival is our national day on October 10th. There are fireworks launched more than a hour at night on Double Tenth Festival.   I love Mid- Autumn Festival the most because we will have barbecue with our family. We eat mooncakes and pomelo, wear the pomelo peel on our head, and enjoy the beautiful night and full moon together.
