Southern lions JUMP, TWIST, FLY through the air. GLORIOUS colours of royal purple, white and gold. The rythmic drummings BEAT PULSATING around the CROWDED FESTIVE room. The gong SOUNDS DEEP and the cymbals CRASH. LAUGHTER, SMILES, TEARS. Family, friends - here and gone. Hands CLAP, feet TAP. EXCITEMENT felt as it THRUMS and SURROUNDS you. DELUCTIBLE smells waft by, dish after dish is presented, colours of the rainbow. SALTY, SWEET, RICH and EXOTIC. Mouths water, drinks flow. Draws, prizes - WIN! HAPPY songs, BITTERSWEET songs, MELODIOUS voices and ODIOUS. Screens flash and bodies SWAY. GOSSIP GOSSIP. KARIOKE!!! RED, RED everywhere. Darling plum blossom.
Happy Centennial Taiwan. You are in our hearts, whether we are here, there, or elsewhere.
Sounds like a wonderful celebration. :)
