Hi Fazrul, nice to see you in "my place"!

I don't know what is the material that these cows are made, but I know that is a specific one that permits them to be painted, because each artist customize his/her own cow in brilliant colors and stuff.

In 2007 Rio de Janeiro was the home of one CowParade’s as well, and I had the privilege of seeing all the cows around the city. They are usually huge, the same size as a real one, and they stay spread in many different points of the city that has this parade.

The first parade was created in Zurich (Switzerland), in 1998. Since its conception the success follows its track. It's a very amusing way to express the street art and to promote a real democratic opportunity of culture. In 2005, the CowParade's tour took place, for the first time, in South America, in São Paulo city.See more detail by clicking on the links below:

Thank you, Fazrul!
Yes, it´s really an amazing parade!
And you know, some people buy a cow to have it, for example, in front of their shops! It's good because everybody can enjoy the colorful cow for ever!
