Wesak Parade 2010 - Part 5 - The Crowd 01
Here are a few pictures of the decorated vehicles which were left out in the previous posts.  The picture above shows a decorated vehicle having a jade Buddha statue in a sitting position and a lying side way Buddha statue in front of it.

The less decorations on this vehicle makes it a bit more different compared to the other ones which are fully decorated for the purpose of the parade.  This one also had Buddha statues on it but smaller in size.  However, the little colourful lanterns added light and specialty to it.

This one has Chinese words stated on its decorated vehicles.  They proposed peace and harmony.  Like us. :D

They put a globe with lotuses and lotus flowers on the vehicle together with a cartoon characterized boy in traditional Malay costume and a girl in one of the traditional Dayak costumes.

I think the globe could rotate because from this angle, we can see another cartoon characterized girl in traditional Chinese costume.

There were also a lot of people opposite the road.

We shifted our position to another road that the parade was going to pass through that night.  There were less people but everyone was anticipating patiently.

This little girl sat on his dad’s shoulder to get a better view of the parade.

It was time to stop in order to ease the traffic jam.  Most walking teams took the opportunity to rest and have a drink.  Some checked their lines to make sure it was still in proper positions.  Some checked through their lanterns to see if extra lantern was needed or lighting was necessary to the candles due to being put out by the wind as they were walking.  Then, the police gave the signals that they could keep going.

As a result of the hot weather, this parade has produced a container of mineral water bottles.

We are not sure if they were going to recycle these bottles.
