Now THIS is a parade.

Posted by: Ian – Oct 05, 2009

Parade for the 60th anniversary of the first General Assembly of China. I find this absolutely fascinating- it contrasts quite considerably with America's annual "we made a country w00t!" celebration. Apparently we both end the celebration with fireworks, proving that the Simpsons can never be wrong: "Celebrate the independence of your nation by blowing up a small part of it." UPDATE: I found a time lapse of the parade, and anyone who reads knows that I love time lapse! From The Guardian UK.
