It was a very pleasant weather today. I went with my girl friends to the Asian Festival held in Downtown Dallas, Texas. This is the 23rd year that the Asian Pacific Americans gather in a festival bigger than ever highlighting the Asian cultural performances, authentic Asian cuisine, and products.
My friend and her husband, who live just a mile from my house, picked me up 9:15 this morning. We took the DART (Dallas Area Rapid Transit) train. It was my very first time to be in Downtown Dallas and riding the DART train since I got here in Texas.
One of the attractions in the festival was the Lion Dance. I haven’t seen one until today. It was pretty nice.
I had a great time with the my friends at the festival. The performances were beautiful. It’s great to be out and about sometimes especially if you’re witnessing a very special event.
Because we had a DART all-day pass, we took the train again going home. It was unusual to me how the train ride going home was backwards. I was kinda feeling sick. When I got home, I rubbed some Efficascent Oil on my tummy and I fell asleep immediately on the couch.
I miss going to festivals. Festivals locally are often too crowded whilst festivals out of town are usually too far away. One day, I will make sure to attend at least one festival that is out of town. This looks so fun, not the kind of festivals here in the PH but still fun.
It looks like the event was lots of fun! I would have loved to have seen the dancers.
it’s good to attend events such as this, looks like you had a nice time
wow! looks like a fun event to attend.. everybody seemed happy and enjoying
Oh sis i can’t wait here too we have the festival on the weekend! I know you really had a great time. Seeing other pepz and great foods huh!
Sure you’ll have a great time sis!
What a fun day. We rode the Denver Light Rail not to long ago. It was great fun.
You really had fun with your friends in the festival. I also want to experience such unique events where you will know the culture of other country.
Oh how nice that Dallas has this Asian Festival. All Asians in there must be honored. My inlaws are living in there by the way but never had a chance come visit them.
There are many interesting products and food to see there!

That looks like a fun and exiting event. I bet you saw lots of familiar food and stuff there.
This sure is a fun festival to witness. I love going to fairs like this. It will give you the experience of knowing other culture.
