Lantern festival
Last night the city celebrated our Asian diversity by having the Chinese lantern festival in the city's Victoria Gardens. There were lots of cheap Asian foodstalls as well as a few bands and of course, karaoke! I opted to buy a chicken curry which i can only say, went through the system a bit quicker than normal!
The lighted lanterns were awesome and must have taken many many hours to prepare. It is on again tonight so we might take a look later but i will have something to eat at home first.

i have always wanted to do a lanturn festival, they enchant me.
We are robbing summer from you day by day. Sorry 'bout that. it hit 67 degrees (F) on tuesday but is raining again. will wash in the fertilizer i dod last weekend which is good.
I knew there was a reason we ordered Chinese (food) last evening! We were celebrating with you sans beautiful lanterns which, I assume is the whole point.
Too bad they don't offer something more palatable at the festival.
Have fun if you go again!
And what karaoke tune did you delight the crowds with? Hmmm?
Sounds like it was a wonderful festival, despite the problem you had with the chicken curry.
I remember when I was at Graceland the week Elvis died there was a procession to his grave and a lot of Asian visitors had paper lanterns and they were quite lovely. That and the Elvis gospel music... (don't ask)
