on sunday/monday, we had "sechseläuten" in zürich.

a completely misleading role model for the children of zürich, the only thing that rescues the popular zürich kinderumzug is the fact that at the tail of it, they allow other cultures to place their costumed kids to take part.

so after you've got sick of watching neatly made up children in their fancy dresses from the aristocratic past of cleptomanic european history, there is suddenly chinese lions and thai dragons and peruan lamas and japanese keito drums, which never fail to cheer up the audience lined up on the streets.
