In May, I went to Seoul with 6 other people for the Lotus Lantern festival which celebrates Buddha's birthday. There is a large parade (about 2 hours) at night, and a street fair the next day. It was quite the sight to see.
These are some of the lotus lanterns that we collected. The people in the parade just kept giving them away. I think over the course of the night we had about 30 between the 7 of us. We gave most of them to children or ajummas.
The temple was completely covered by lotus lanterns. It was absolutely beautiful.
Me and my new boyfriend ;P The street fair the next day had performances, demonstrations, and crafts.
