I've only been to one big street party - Swing Singapore in 1988. It was enjoyable because it was not so crowded at first, and when the crowd grew, my friends and I wisely left.
Don't like the LOUD noises they call music, or body-to-body squeeze.
But party-goes, by all means, continue to revel ... after all, our economy needs every boost it can get.
Travelling with children is still restrictive, but it is great to see them able to walk farther and farther on their own.
Shocking to note that Virgin Megastore outlets are all closed in the USA - an apparent sign that US retail economy is still not recovered that there were significant empty retail space at Union Square in SFO. Dang, I was so hoping to find bargain DVDs. Can't explore and travel on my own when I'm with the kids.
TBC ...
I borrow so many items for myself and the kids that I sometimes misplace the items ...
More than once, I reported an item lost, paid for it, and then, found it somewhere ...
