How weird can weird be?

.
The other day me and some friends we went for a photo shooting in one area of China town – interesting part of Toronto city, I dare say. After a walk in the streets we decided to find a spot where our photographers could place their equipment – umbrellas and staff. So, we find a park…It looked a little bit strange from the time we approach it – but it was a good décor for the shooting. People with big tattoos, dressed vintage and very colorful. This doesn`t seem very weird, doest it?
By the end of the photo shooting we were part of that team of natural unprofessional actors and the stage was this small park circled by bushes.
What was happening there?
I`1l try as best as I can to describe this amazing reality show play. I `ll go in a circle. First of all many of these persons out there were smoking pot, but … I assume or the pot was really strong or they were high also from other things.
Not far from us there were two girls sitting on the grass reading books, the most normal people from the area. On the other side of the alley there was this girl juggling with balls or skittles – very nice – she was in her training hour. Then there was a kids playground – but, I don`t recall seeing kids – just adults in colorful outfits swinging. And then, it started the party. There was this group of people with guitars, tattoos and dreads, skates and dogs…smoking pot. Opposite from them on our side there were two other groups – one resembling them, and one formed as of Chinese mafia – same…smoking pot. On our right there was a small group of poor people with bags and packages and colorful mixed clothes and another group of black muscled people showing their strengths to their white wives and mixed kids. And close to us there were these two people doing yoga – or something similar.
And us – with umbrellas and other photography equipments – flashing cameras, modeling, jumping, floating the hair, dancing to get good shoots.

When the effect of weed got into some of these people we had an entire show. From the group in from of us, one guy was trying hardly to play his guitar while skating; one from the opposite side, just in his shorts was singing voice and guitar so loud for the entire neighborhood to hear and he was accompanied at moments by a punk delirious dancer, one Chinese mafia started a monologue that lasted for about one hour – I don`t know exactly about what – something war, energy, America, kids, environment, also screamed out load and accompanied at moments by a guitar and a saxophone from two people from different groups trying to compose something together. I forgot to mention the pantomime romance on two benches, some yoga movements and strengths acts.

I could say everything was normal – and funny and entertaining. But what is the chance that you get to see all this in one little, little park?

Pictures to come...

Haha, I like the guy that was trying to play his guitar while skating:) If you live in Canada, the chances to see all this are pretty high. It is a mix of different cultures and habits all around:)
