Nagasaki Lantern Festival
Some general random pics of the lantern festival celebrating the Chinese new year in Nagasaki. |
The main stage at Minato Park. |
One of the streets in China Town, completely filled with people and hundreds of paper lanterns above. |
The two people on the right got married in a big ceremony at Minato Park, complete with a big dragon dancing show and a free honeymoon in Singapore. |
Another view of the setup at Minato Park, opposite the main stage. Normally this place looks nothing like this, but it was completely transformed for the festival. |
Craziest thing ever! What else is there to say? |
I think, that one above was Anita's idea. Maybe Timo had something to do with it too... |
Little kid jaodori! They're all so small! |
One of the big gates into China Town. |
Lantern displays shipped straight from China for the festival. |
