Today was the Techno Parade - a Parisian version of the Berlin Love parade - where 100s of thousands of young techno music lovers walk and dance through the streets. It starts at Place de la Bastille at noon and winds its way slowly through 6km of streets and returns again to Bastille. All the streets are jammed with kids, mainly 15 to 25 year olds ... getting drunker as the day goes on but having a great time. I sat on the side of the road and watched it pass by and it took 5 hours! I talked to dozens of kids - all young, excited and utterly delightful. A really magical day and totally unexpected.http://www.technoparade.fr/
