Okay, I've decided to talk about the rally that I went to on Sunday. Just five minutes ago, I was on the verge of completing my post but now I've decided to make a new one and save the pervious for tomorrow. That way, I have less to do since tomorrow is also a half day. When I woke up my aunt was already downstairs and getting ready for the rally. I didn't know that I had to go because my parents never told me but once I read the note from my dad I realized I couldn't stay home. Immediately, I started brushing my teeth and changing clothes so that I could have as much time on the computer before leaving. The event happens at 9:00 A.M and it was already 8:30 A.M. Yet, only my aunt was downstairs. Ten minutes later my mom and sister came.
Apparently my mother wasn't coming and I didn't know why. However, she was really getting me mad. The reason behind this is because she was yelling at me for wearing "thin clothes". I felt as though my sweater and pants were fine but no. She was the one calling the shots. I continued to argue with her about the pants and sweater but she wouldn't give in. At that point my mind was going crazy because I really did not want to wear the ones she was telling me to use. They looked extremely tight and I knew they would hurt while I was walking. And like I thought, my predictions were not wrong because when I walked from my house all the way to the train station it hurt.
I'm not saying it was a long walk, I am saying that the pants were really hurting me while I was walking. But my brain told me to endure it and I didn't make a huge fuss over it. Skipping past the long train ride and getting out the elevator, my aunt was already walking to the edge of the street so that a cab would come to us. It looked pretty funny because she didn't know how to call a cab correctly. Fortunately, one came after 5 minutes of waiting and all three of us (me, aunt, and sister) got inside and went all the way to the United Nations headquarters. When I heard the cab was taking us the United Nations building I was pretty concerned. Why were we going there?
Then, I found out that the event was taking place near the building. However there was still a purpose for it. The first thing that happened when I got there was the sound of someone speaking in a microphone. Apparently, someone was speaking to the huge crowd of Tibetans near the stage. There were many speakers but the one that I was most happy to hear the President of the Tibetan Administration. I had two reasons why he was one of my most favorite speakers. One, he spoke English so I could understand what he said. Second, he was adding jokes to his speech while still stating the main message. "Free Tibet!" and "You may choose to look the other way, but you can never say you didn't know".
I'm going to explain what this quote means. Basically, it talks about how China is looking the other way and ignoring the Tibetans and what they want, but they can never say that they didn't know of the crisis in Tibet and how they are the reason for it. The President was also talking about how if China would just talk to the Dalai Lama they would gain much wisdom from him and would be able to improve their relationships with other countries, besides Tibet. Ever since Tibet was invaded by China, it was taken over and controlled to this day. I'm assuming that the Chinese president feels the same way about Tibet as his ancestors because if he didn't then Tibet would be able to have its freedom. Some other stuff that happened was that after the speech of the president the people working there would give Tibetan food to all the people and then start the rally, walking from the stage all the way to the building of Communist China. That was it for the rally, my dad, sister, and I left at the end of the march because it was taking way too long.
