Happy street

Yesterday was pretty awesome.
I woke up and I knew that I have to do something !
I called my friend 'HH shinh đẹp' and asked her to join me, I guessed what I told her was too hard to resist :)) : 'Let's draw on the street outside my house !'
Of course, she said yes !
Here are some pictures from yesterday









I feels incredible when people was walking on the street and followed my footprints, no, actually handprints ... When I started, I dont really know if it works or not, I want to measure the way from my house to the bus stop, I counted it with my footstep at first, it took 295 footsteps, pretty amazed by the number of footsteps in that short way to the bus stop that I walked everyday.

I want to do something fun, I decided to measure everything with the wooden hands that I cut from the same size of my hands. So yeah, pretty much what you can see, wherever I go, I leave my 'handprints' on the road. People followed it, some kids jumped on it, one by one, one little boy asked his mom : 'Mommy, where did it go?', some came after me and asked what was it about, I told them about the project, they smiled and said : 'It's lovely !', 'They looks really nice.'

Nothing can be better to hear some compliments, I actually start to like this project, although there are still lots to do but I will try to do my best. See what you can do to make your life better and better ? Let's go out and leave your handprints on your daily route, from your house to your nearest shop, to the bus stop and feel the changes !
