Dot Com Fusion Fest
After Dot Com Pho at Pho Lan Restaurant, which was attended by only 7 people because of a Dot Com split, We headed across the Alex Fraser bridge and into city of Surrey for the first ever Dot Com Fusion Festival.
The Surrey Fusion Festival is Surrey’s largest 3-day multicultural celebration with 40 international pavilions celebrating music, food and culture. This is the event’s first year and it looks like a big hit.
The festival is held at the new Holland Park located at King George Highway and Old Yale Road. This is the largest multicultural event in Surrey’s history as over 60,000 people are projected to attend this free outdoor festival.
Unlike the United States, which tries to be a melting pot, Canada celebrates its diversity. The Surrey Fusion Festival brings together many distinct cultural heritages represented by ethnic and community groups hosting pavilions to present the music, food, costume and dance of their country of origin. Fusion Festival started yesterday and goes until tomorrow. It’s worth checking out.

I was born in Canada and truly love its diversity, even though I now call SoCal home, but John… no pandas in that video ??

Reply to this commentHow do the pandas manage to camouflage themselves?
Reply to this commentHahaha Pandas aren’t hiding John. They are nowhere to be found in Canada.
Reply to this commentWhy do you talk about Panda? Whether it discussing about Surrey Fusion Festival?
Reply to this commentI guess you don’t know the story of John and pandas.
Reply to this commentGood stuff, as a Canadian I appreciate these kind of things. I do want to move to Cali (for silicon valley) but hey I still love my Canadian roots.
Reply to this commentLooks like a gay ‘ol time.
I would have had to drink alot to stay there longer than an hour. LoL unless my little girl was old enough to enjoy it.

Reply to this commentSo that’s how you’re so tall John…STILTS right?
Reply to this commentLooks good, but was there a circus in there
Reply to this commentMulti-cultural. Cool.
Reply to this commentThe U.S. tends to go overboard in the area of celebrating diversity. Christmas isn’t Christmas anymore…its “The Holidays”, so as not to exclude anyone. People in the United States are so worried about offending one another, that suggesting us as anything other than “diverse” is offensive in itself….

That line just gets me thinking… Stay tuned next week, when it’s Dot Com Civil War! Who will come out on top? Who will survive? Who will eat the last cocktail shrimp.
OMG. They could do a video game. John Chow and the Pandas of Dot Com Doom! Oh, that gives me an idea…

Reply to this commentJohn, Nice post! I enjoy the ‘diversity’ of your post’s. It shows that you have wide ranging interests, and care about more than just making money. Well done! Respectfully, Nicholas Chase - future Super Affiliate http://www.donotreadthisblogunless.blogspot.com

Reply to this commentI wish pingo or one of its affiliate partners had a booth to giveaway free phone cards. These type of ethnic festivals are worth renting a booth at. Sometimes going offline with your marketing efforts, can give your affiliate website a real sales lift.
