Taiwan's 2010 Rose Parade Entry

China Airlines' float won the International Award for most beautiful entry from outside the continental U.S. with a theme of Taiwan's Gardian- The Third Prince during the 121st Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, on New Year's Day, January 1, 2010. The third Prince in Mandarin is known as Nezha. More info. on how Nezha has become more Taiwanese.

China Airlines is really Taiwan's entry, since it's government owned.

Beautiful float! Pictures..

What's interesting is the floats have had more of a Taiwanese theme the last couple of years, where it used to be a generic Chinese theme.

Avery Press Release on their float - Avery's web sites had nothing on their float, not even a picture. One way to attempt escaping controversy.

Questions:
Why is it so hard to find a picture of China and Taiwan's Float? I"ll add these later as they come available. Looks like the Tournament of Roses site has bandwidth issues.

Humerous:
1. When I did a search on google for a picture of China Airlines 2008 Rose Parade entry, my blog came up. I did a previous post on China Airlines Rose Parade Entries with the pictures I could find noting my frustration on finding photos.

2. The float builder for both the Taiwan and China floats is the same. Festival Artists (which needs to improve their web site. Sugestions - Pictures! List of clients with drawings. Other float builders are doing this).

Anti Beijing 2008 Pasadena Olympic Billboard and a newspaper story. It's an interesting coalition that is behind this billboard.

I feel a bit sorry for the Pasadena Government, they really are in a no win situation where no matter what they do, they are going to upset somebody.
