Krishna’s Bash in Brisbane

August 18, 2009 at 10:16 am · Filed under india, international travel, tourism, travel and tagged: ,

By Linda Tancs

This time of year Hindus the world over celebrate the birthday of Krishna, a revered deity. Lest you think the event is solely reserved to India, festivities and pilgrimages abound in Nepal, Toronto, Montreal, Paris, Singapore, Malaysia, England–and Brisbane, Australia. Brisbane, in fact, is hosting its first ever Krishna’s Birthday Festival at Roma Street Parklands Celebration Lawn on 23 August from noon till 5 p.m. Like other festivities, they’ll have plenty of food, face painting, music and merriment. The joyful noise Down Under might not attract the 65,000 or so pilgrims expected at Watford, England, but a pleasant time is guaranteed for all.

What a wonder-full world.  After a global vote, the results are in.  The newest 7 wonders of the world are, in no particular order:  The Great Wall of China, Rome’s Colosseum, India’s Taj Mahal, Jordan’s Petra, Peru’s Machu Picchu, Brazil’s Christ the Redeemer, and Mexico’s Chichen Itza.  Will the losing candidates demand a recount?
