Clean Up
Hooray!
Today was the start of the long public holiday.
The streets were filled with festivities, with decorations hanging on various light posts, trees and poles.
The shops were closed, with only places like restaurants, cafes and touristic spots open for business.
The malls were closed, the small petite stores were barred, but many were prepared for the long 4 day festivity from Tuesday to Friday.
And those who didn't forget to stick up their fridges, could only rely on whatever was left in their homes, or head to the many famous Vendor Areas in Baymard where one can even get food and other essential items from the numerous vending machines.
Today, there was a grand parade scheduled in the afternoon.
Several people and businesses registered to open stalls for the festivities.
Hot Air Balloon rides and other medieval and modern day games were scattered all around specific open spaces like Times Square Garden and so on.
