International Day 2020
Its May 2020 and me and my family are getting ready for our favourite day. Five years ago International Day was declared to celebrate cultures and people from every corner of our planet. What makes this holiday truly unique is that it is an genuinely international holiday, with countries all over the world celebrating along with us. Luckily for me an mine London, where we live, puts on one the best parties around the world.
The streets are packed, with numerous areas of London designated for different countries. We begin our day in the Brazilian quarter, where a huge area has been dedicated to a giant dance party, the latest in Brazilian electronic music blasting from the speakers. At the center of the dancers men and women are performing capoeira and trying to teach the kids present some tricks, much to the amusement of the rest of the crowd. As the music rises the MC gets on the mic and revs up the crowd, telling them to jump as the batteries are running low. The sound system is running off the kinetic energy created by the crowd dancing on the specially designed dance floor. The crowd is more than willing to oblige and begin dancing and jumping with more enthusiasm as the amazing music continues to get them all going.
Our next stop is the French Quarter, a less raucous sector to be sure. The focus here not surprisingly is on the food. The quality and fame of French cuisine has suffered from a deep decline the last decade or so, but a few years ago a young chef took it upon himself to revitalize the industry, and he is the one sponsoring the French celebrations this year. The smells coming from the area are nothing short of heavenly as 50 chefs are cooking up a storm, setting out plate after plate for patrons to sample. The real excitement of this section is a little further in, however. A huge screen is set up next to a line of stationary bikes. A crowd has gathered as three young woman and two older guys are riding in their own Tour de France. The french country side is projected up on the screen and the five cyclists are racing trying to pass each other their real world effort translated into virtual speed. Once again in an effort to be green the bikes are powering all the electronics in the area.
Throughout the city International Day continues long into the night, where the solar panels that have been gathering sun all day power the lights. The grease from the hundreds of food stalls all around the city is being used to power generators. And I think you can probably guess where all of the windmills were set up in order to catch the wind energy! The Dutch Quarter could be seen from anywhere in the city with the huge structures towering over the rooftops.
From the Ghanaian Quarter to the Russian Quarter tradition, culture and innovation were celebrated and a good time was had by all!!
