Chinatown Double Ten Parade

Nihau! 
Welcome to Honolulu Chinatown: 
Oldest in the West
Purple Bamboo Melody by Traditional Chinese Music on Grooveshark

Ko`olau Mountains
 behind Honolulu Town
remind me of an 
Asian brush drawing.






















 Nice day for a parade

Ten Ten, or Double Ten Day
is the National Holiday
of the Republic of China
( Taiwan )















 When are children ever still?


 Sun Yat-sen 
was born on 12 November 1866
 to a Cantonese Hakka family.
  Evidence suggests
 that he was  born at Ewa
 in Honolulu, Hawaii.

 Some claim that he came to
 Honolulu
at age 13.









 When they are lost in thought. . . .

















 Like any other person





















 Everything OK in there?

































 Here comes the parade!


















 We do know
 that Dr. Sun lived here
 among us,
attending Iolani School,
and Punahou 
as our President
Obama did.














 Some say 
that the cosmopolitan court and 
democratic politics
of Hawaii's King Kalakaua
inspired young Sun's
 earliest political
aspirations.









 In 1883 the King
awarded 2nd prize
in English grammar
to the young student
Sun!





















 Hawaii 
has had a thriving 
Chinese community
from Kalakaua's times.























 Hawaii
would not BE the 
Hawaii we know and love
without the Chinese
people and influences.














































 Portable Rainbow
















 Dignified Guardian

 Age:   Far & Near

 Memories Under Construction

 What revolution
might THESE Honolulu
children lead,
to improve our world
when they grow up?






































 So pretty-
Is it REAL?
MUST TOUCH!

makes the very least
 person
 to be of more value 
than the most talented
 hypocrite.  "
