I finally watched Up the Yangtze. This is the 3rd documentary I have seen this year (The other two are The Forgotten Women and American Teen). The director carefully pierced the tales of the young girl and her family with limited resources, the arrogant, money-hungry young man, and the cueless tourists in a way that produced powerful contrasts and brought tears from the audience. There are always two sides of anything in the world--including The Great Three Gorges Dam in China.
I also enjoyed the canoe ride and many music performances and art work there. I got a chance to see a modern dance (Aliooopdeeoop, choregraphed by Julia Aplin) on the rooftop swimming pool of The Radisson Hotel. But the highlight was definitely the boat ride from Harbourfront to the Disillery District! The wind was a bit strong but it was nice to have a mini-vacation away from the city!
Event: Taste of Little Italy
Venue: West of Bathurst on College
Pre-event estimate: 1 out of 5 for the street festival (assessed last year) but 4 out of 5 for Dr. Draw's performance.
Post-event rating: umm.... see below
I'm singing in the rain... Singing in the rain....
I was there but not long enough before thunder and lightening striked. When and where is Dr. Draw performing next?
