Today marks the 112th Anniversary of The Republic of the Philippines Independence... so MABUHAY to all Filipinos all over the world....So it is another rainy afternoon in Taipei... well, actually it has bee a couple of really rainy days in Taipei... and it seems that the rain will not be letting up anytime soon.... but as always, I do not let this stop me from all the things I want to do and want to see.... and this weekend, being the Dragon Boat Festival weekend - there is much going on by Dajia River - close to the house, where we run....
and good thing we decided to weather the rain... it has been a while since I was able to see one of these festivals and it was worth getting a bit wet... the Dragon Boat races are always fun.... no matter if you have a favorite team to root for or not.... lots of people from all over the world participates in the races each year - and this year is no different.... then there's also a host of other things happening - including a "sticky rice wrapping contest... and numerous booths: food delicacies to try plus crafts and gift items to purchase or admire...

and the other BIG thing going on, as if we all do not know is FIFA - currently happening in South Africa... and with that comes one of my FAVE things: product sponsorships... so many things bearing the FIFA logos, mascots and participating teams' emblems... they have been turning up here and there - in clothing (PUMA, Adidas, Fred Perry), bags, drinks (Coca Cola & Heineken), Premiums (McDonald's in particular) and of course, toys.... my FAVE one so far being the colors of the South African flag representing the FLAG series in Bearbrick Series 20 collection - see photo below...
and speaking of Bearbricks, the new set Captain Kirk & Lt.Uhura have just been released, too... they will look good next to my Spock one, for sure!!!
