On Saturday after class, me, Mom and my brother went to the Lantern Festival in Chinese Garden as mid autumn spring is almost going to the end. Since I brought Mom there three years ago, she likes it very much and it has becomes yearly visit. Hubby had been busy with his work so he rested at home and Dad went out with his friends. My youngest brother has officially moved here. This year the price goes up 50%, you see.. the tax goes up 2% only, but everything else goes up as they wish..
Anyway, it is nicer than last year, although it still doesn’t worth the price hike. The theme is underwater I suppose, and they explore quite a lot of species, including what I think as frogfish hehe…
There are new editions, wishing floating flower and wishing tree. Set aside all practical thought, we floated a flower and threw a wishing gold coin to the tree together with hundreds of other people. Good wishes and and well wishes are always needed.
There is also getai performance although we skipped it because the weather was very humid and there were human everywhere. It’s almost as cramp as Orchard Road, if not more. But everyone looked happy, so did us. Children paying with lantern and small fire work, and everyone appreciated the art of the lanterns. It's beautiful.
So it’s not bad at all.
