Lantern Parade
Lantern Parade Slide Show
Sunday, Good Man and I went to the Lantern Parade for Buddha's Birthday.
I culled down 700+ photos to 120 for a gallery. Unlike my usual galleries, which are all clickity-click, this one is a slide show. I decided that captions were probably not necessary.
In short: a parade to celebrate Buddha's birthday, it ends at Jogyesa, where thousands of lanterns are strung up. Wishes are written on the slips of paper hanging from the lanterns, and the papers (and lanterns, it seems) are burned to make the wishes come true.
Last year, my mom and stepdad arrived the night of the parade and managed to see most of it. This year I saw it with Good Man.
Things are coming full circle.
Amanda Takes Off...
An American educator moves to Korea, presumably to teach English. Instead she discovers that learning Korean one tae kwon do class at a time is a more captivating activity.
