A park in use

 In Taiwan and China, people actually use their parks!  In America, barely anyone uses parks.  Maybe we’ll go to watch our kid’s or little brother’s baseball game, but that’s about all.  

There, the parks are crowded.  People bring their boom-boxes and dance.  Some people waltz, some people do dances with fans.  Some people rent a boat and paddle around the lake that most parks contain there.  Some people fly kites.  Some just walk around enjoying a nice day.  I wish parks were such a hot spot here.
