A surprise update

elusivekI found myself with a bit of time in my hands... hence, an update!
I was walking around somewhere near my home, and saw this.
I've heard that this kind of... Chinese marquee thing (geez... the English term is failing me right now) is something of a dying artform... so as I saw it I snapped a photo of it. This is one of the smallest ones I've seen. There were some really huge ones before. I wonder if I'll be able to see them in the near future. It's some kind of festival, I suppose.
My friend managed to get complimentary tickets to the JABBAWOCKEEZ – TRUE TO YOURSELF show. I was looking forward to it, but I wasn't impressed. The dance moves and choreography weren't really spectacular. I'd say some of the Got Talent shows and the other dancing shows and such had better moves, choreography and art/lighting/animation. The really impressive thing was the theatre and its facilities though, which isn't really credit to the performing group, it's credit to the venue. Anyway.
In a rare show of diligence, I spent the afternoon today in a Starbucks doing my German homework! I even made a start on my verb conjugation table thing. I think I'm more or less getting the hang on the conjugations (except for the exceptions and irregulars) and maybe I'll have to move on to studying the vocabs. No, I don't have a problem with the vocabs. I have a problem with the gender of the vocabs. At least in Portuguese I can have a fairly good chance of over 90% accuracy by looking at the end of the word (a mesa, a cadeira, o livro)... but in German it seems like it's totally by memorization. I'll work on it.

Date: 2019-03-11 10:38 (UTC)(I guess) it’s a Taoist thing and they are celebrating some god or another. Yes they do similar wreaths for funerals too but since it’s all red here it’s celebratory (for funerals they will do white instead). Red would be for all the “good” things, celebration, marriage, big birthdays (60 for men and 61 for women if my memory serves right)
