Tall Ship Festival

So, I'm obviously behind on my updates, but school is keeping me busy and I can't really fail my blog, plus the rainy season is overdue to start so I've been going out and enjoying myself while I still can. Back on the last weekend of April however there was a Tall Ship Festival. This was several days of being able to go down to the docks and look at sailing ships from various parts of the world, complete with all the usual festival foods and the obligatory fireworks.

The night view was great
Here you can get a brief idea of the atmosphere. This was no where near as big as Kunchi back in the Fall or New Year's, but it was still fun to come out and relax and just have fun. If you're wondering what was going on on stage it was belly dancing. I tried to watch, but it honestly was not very interesting to me.
The last two videos show case parts of the fireworks show (which lasted for about 15 minutes). This is normal for regular festivals, but these were sad compared to the fireworks we saw back in the winter (which I did not make a video of because I was too busy being mesmerized). Still it was pretty nice to have the ship's silhouette in the foreground.
