Geneva Parade

Had Heard a lot about the Geneva parade so went to geneva lakeside to have a first hand view. Lot of floaters with loud music and dancing people in fancy dresses( which they will other wise not wear). I think this is an oppurtunity for the people to vent their energies which is normally held in side the straight jacketed European Culture. The Orient has lots of such events in their culture in form of the various ritualistic festivals , like the various Poojas and Deepavali in India. The weather was good and the crowd was enormous by geneva standards.
