...the theme of this year's 2010 Rose Parade...Captain Chesley Sullenberger...remember the miracle at the Hudson River? he was the pilot of that lucky flight that landed on water without any casualty January, 2009. he is the 2010 grand marshal of the 121st Annual Rose Parade which is the mother of all parades here in the U.S. done in Pasadena, California right every New Year's Day. what could be the best thing to do in opening or welcoming the new year than watching fabulous floats covered and adorned with exceptional, pretty or beautiful flowers all over them and seeing and hearing lots of great marching bands from different parts of the country play or perform...this is what i do :) it bring smiles into the new year as you see a lot of smiles as well. one dream vacation of mine too, maybe in the future. and yeah, countries in asia also participate with their parade float entries and during the past parades they were even winners of the best float. corporations also participate. i just saw Honda won the best animation trophy where a plane looking like a helicopter doing its stunt on the parade. also snow boarding dogs are featured today, lovely! incredible 2 hrs. live program at HGTV, (home and garden TV) without any commercial :> and i just saw JACKIE CHAN in a Chinese float, my favorite actor. a comedy marshall art hero. the "spy next door" is his new movie coming up on 1-15-'09, i bet it will be fun to watch it :) ...see the movie shot here...
