The summer festival!
Today, I went to the summer festival and the festival is the biggest one in my city.
I saw various kinds of floats (? is that correct in English?) called "Sansha or Dashi", and those are all big. a lot of men, women and kids were taking part in it, pulling a rope connected with Dashi, speaking loud in a kind of local language (different from dialect), and giving us a happy time :D
You'll see many booth on the street, and I got some grilled pork on a skewer and "niku-man" ( how do you call it?) that is made from flour dough, and filled with cooked ground pork (from wikipedia, haha).
Oh it's not easy to explain cultual stuff. I hope you understand what I'm trying to say.

The summer festival!
Today, I went to the a summer festival. and the festival is It's the biggest one [or: the biggest festival] in my city.
I saw various kinds of floats (? is that correct in English? [yes, it is!]) called "Sansha" and "Dashi", and those which are all both big. A lot of men, women and kids were taking part in it the festival, pulling a ropes connected with to the Dashi, speaking loud in a kind of local language (different from not just a dialect), and giving us a happy time making everyone very happy. [or: entertaining everyone.] :D
You'll could see many boothes on the street, and I got some grilled pork on a skewer and "niku-man" ( how what do you call it?) that is made from flour dough, and filled with cooked ground pork (from according to wikipedia, haha).
Oh, it's not easy to explain cultural stuff. I hope you understand what I'm trying to say.
If "sansha" and "dashi" are two different kinds of floats, you should use "and". But, if they're two words with the same meaning, you can use "or".
"Speaking loud" is okay, but you could also use "shouting" or "chanting".
I think you could say "nikuman" in English. Or, the closest English word is probably "pork bun".
The festival sounds fun! In two weeks, my city will have an ethnic festival with foods and entertainment from many countries. I'm looking forward to it!

Oh yea I mistook. Chinese dumplings are not steamed but boiled. Yes nikuman are steamed. I really didn't know what pot stickers" were, but I just searched for it on the web and found it. They look like baked dumplings. So my first image was wrong. Thanks for pointing it out!

Yes, nikuman and dumplings are different! In Canada, we have dumplings or 'pot stickers'. However, they are boiled usually, unlike Nikuman. Nikuman are usually steamed, I think.
I wonder where I could buy Nikuman in Canada...

Well, nikuman is different from gyouza, but I guess I understand why you say so. "Pot stickers" sounds like "steamed dumplings" (most people called it "dumpling" instead of gyouza when I was in Canada). I heard real bumplings, in China, are steamed one, but Japanese popular gyouza is baked one. So, if we talk about real chinese dunplings, yes, how to cook is kind of similar to nikuman.
