This weekend the infamous "Changay Parade" was held at city hall. This is an annual parade following Chinese New Year and is a big deal. The President and Prime Minister and whoever else all come and say a few words. The parade was free to attend but in order to get seats to see the actual show you need tickets which cost fifty dollars plus. A handful of international students were selected to receive free tickets from the Internation Student Centre and they just happened to pick all of the RPI students. We also received free NTU shirts to wear to the parade.
This was easily the best parade I have ever seen. Floats were accompanied by large groups of dancers and performers, each representing a different group or organization. There was a large stage in the center where acrobats and such performed as the floats passed. The following is a picture of the NTU float:
