I wonder if the Tulip Festival’s international Pavilion keeps changing. When I volunteered back in 2008 the pavilion was roughly in an circle or oval shape. Now, the International Pavilion is placed in a rectangular white tent making it a bit harder to allow people to view various national sections. Pictures and video shooting got a bit harder as well. It is still a great place to visit so do check it out! Even if it may seem boring do go check it out as you may find something worth your liking.<\/p>\n

Shall we begin?<\/p>\n

OC Transpo Slinkies. I miss the old ones from the late 90’s and early 2000’s. The sounds they made during when gearing up\/down and the look they had made them the coolest bus in town. I think they were called Icarus?<\/p>\n

Note: Some people representing their nations didn’t want to be in the shot so I had to try crazy angles to keep them out. Some worked and some just didn’t so pardon the quality in half or some of them. <\/em><\/p>\n

The Japanese section was as tiny as the island itself. It was squished with less fun games then the one I remember back in 2008.<\/em><\/p>\n
