Since I’d already been up for several hours at 10:30am, I think it is ok to have a beer before noon.
The campsite is so clean and structured, all in tidy rows!
Major Lazer was amazing! Everyone was crazy and took their shirts off halfway through the set!
We got up at cracker dawn, stopped by the store to pick up food, drinks and ice and arrived at the festival site at 10am. We were welcomed by a 3h line to get in. The security checked every single bag (almost) in every single car to make sure no glass or sharp objects were brought in – awesome! Good thing to know we are safe at the festival though.
We made it in, pitched our tent, and off we go!
Started off mellow with Youth Lagoon – last time I saw him was in a tiny record store in Echo Park.
The snail liked him!
Only a few hours into day one and my feet are already super dirty! Doesn’t hurt that I always need 5000 layers of sunblock on my feet that seems to attract dirt.
We saw Johnny Marr which was really good, he played a bunch of old Smiths songs, and that’s always welcome!
An Elvis hybrid was there!
The classic festival ground photo… I probably wanted to take a photo of something else.
Lee Scratch Perry was most likely very high, such a character!
Stone Roses played all their hits, but were still fairly bad. I always think it’s hilarious to watch the sign language person by the side of the stage though, always entertaining!
Mmmkay… I wasn’t gonna…
We got to see the sun today, a good day to do your laundry!
It wasn’t just us there.
Some other food that was not as tempting;
Classic mom & dad photo; mom is lecturing dad, dad is pretending to listen.
A bunch of guys watching some other guys playing cards in the park. I wish we had this tradition in Los Angeles. I wish we had more parks in Los Angeles.
We have plenty of this in Los Angeles as well though.
Some interesting fruit that I never got to try.
I wish I had the guts to try the food from the street vendors.
We headed to the market to pick up dinner, it was super crowded! At one point I did not move my feet, but I kept moving anyway.
We took a stroll though the old, not so fancy parts of Shanghai. Lots of small alleys and street markets!
I dunno, but some of these fishes looks more dead than alive to me…
We made it to Yu Gardens, but never actually made it into the gardens – we will have to come back and do that next time!
I am not a big fan of roller-coasters, cotton candy or overpriced hotdogs, but there’s plenty of other things to do. We got to learn how to draw Tigger, I failed miserable. I still dont know how I passed my Drawing For Communication class.
My friends tricked me into doing the Tower of Terror. I thought it was gonna be a scary place where you walked around getting scared by freaky people. Didn’t know it was just gonna be an elevator that was going up and down in a really high speed. All I could think of was “do not throw up, do not throw up, do not throw up”.
