Chinatown Double Ten Parade

Nihau! 

Welcome to Honolulu Chinatown: 
Oldest in the West

Ko`olau Mountains

 behind Honolulu Town

remind me of an 

Asian brush drawing.

 Nice day for a parade

Ten Ten, or Double Ten Day

is the National Holiday

of the Republic of China

( Taiwan )

 When are children ever still?

 Sun Yat-sen 

was born on 12 November 1866
 to a Cantonese Hakka family.

  Evidence suggests
 that he was  born at Ewa

 in Honolulu, Hawaii.

 Some claim that he came to

 Honolulu

at age 13.

 When they are lost in thought. . . .

 Like any other person

 Everything OK in there?

 Here comes the parade!

 We do know

 that Dr. Sun lived here

 among us,

attending Iolani School,

and Punahou 

as our President

Obama did.

 Some say 

that the cosmopolitan court and 

democratic politics

of Hawaii's King Kalakaua

inspired young Sun's

 earliest political

aspirations.

 In 1883 the King

awarded 2nd prize

in English grammar

to the young student

Sun!

 Hawaii 

has had a thriving 

Chinese community

from Kalakaua's times.

 Hawaii

would not BE the 

Hawaii we know and love

without the Chinese

people and influences.

 Memories Under Construction

 What revolution

might THESE Honolulu

children lead,

to improve our world

when they grow up?

 So pretty-

Is it REAL?

MUST TOUCH!

 " Sincerity 

makes the very least

 person

 to be of more value 

than the most talented

 hypocrite.  "
