The other Indonesian intern, Puspita, has started her project one month earlier before I came here. So she goes home first. On the last Monday before she goes home, Aunty and Eva took us to Taipei to visit the Yuanshan Lantern Festival. There are many other similar lantern festivals in other areas, and it is related to the Chinese New Year event that is celebrated in February 2013.
Actually what I imagined before is the real lantern, the one that is lighted by the fire. But then when I arrive there, I'm a bit surprised finding the lanterns there. So here are the pictures :
The crowd in front of the gate
It's me!
Sweet, isn't it?
Beautiful ocean of lighting
The center of the celebration. Welcome to the year of Snake!
(It looks like frog, indeed)
Lantern made by the Japanese, as appreciation for Taiwan who has helped Japan after hit by the tsunami 2 years ago
Goat and me. According to Chinese zodiac, my zodiac is goat, because I was born in 1991
The Chinese warriors
