People in Parks

Bill writes: You never know who you'll find doing what in parks here. Walking through the park the other day, we found, not suprisingly, a group of cricketeers.



However, they didn't seem to be setting up to play, and in fact after setting up their equipment and standing around for a long while chatting, they then packed it all up again and left. Aline's theory is that they were some kind of cricket-trekkies: they just like to dress up like cricket players and talk about cricket.

Walking on a few dozen yards, we next bumped into a re-creation of some kind of ancient Monglolian wrestling match. (And thanks to an alert reader who pointed out that the wrestling style was not Japanese, as I'd originally written.)



In the next park, we heard singing. Someone was singing brazillian tunes and people from the park were tangoing like mad.
