StreetFairs


On Saturday, February 06th, there was a street fest in San Francisco Chinatown. My sister, her boyfriend, and I thought that when we got there we would just visit a friend who was volunteering at a flower booth and walk around. The friend was named Rithy. Since he didn't eat anything, we went to get him some food. But we didn't think that business would be so busy that he couldn't eat it at all. So from fast thinking, my sister jumped into the scene and volunteered to take his spot until he was finished when eating. But my sister had so much fun that she didn't want to leave, so we stayed there till the booth closed which was at about 6 pm. She got comfortable after a couple hours and used the microphone to attract customers. She said "Kim Lan $10", "Lucky Bamboo $9", "Cherry Blossom $8", but there was no Cherry Blossom, it was Plum Flower. Lol. Then she started saying, "buy some flowers for your girlfriend, your wife, your friends, the person you love, the person who love you", "make your dream girl your wife". Rithy saw some girls taking pictures of the flowers and say "buy the flowers, it'll last longer than a picture". And when I felt bored, I would join my sister and help out. I helped with the wrapping and selling. It was our first time going to the SweetHeart in SF and unlike the one in Oakland, they sold crepes. We had lots of fun. At the end of the day, the owners gave us some flowers for helping out.
On Sunday, February 07th, we went to a street fest in Oakland Chinatown. It wasn't as big as the one in SF, but it was nice and interesting. We also saw a simple, yet cool illusion trick. My sister saw one of her people and spent a few minute talking to her. I had lots of fun over the weekend.
And that was the end to my amazing wonderful weekend.
