My trip to the lantern festival...

I’m not exactly sure how many years the lantern festival has been going on for, it seems relatively knew- but seriously what do I know?

My friend Kissairis and I have been trying to “do something fun” on Wednesday’s to split up our week.  No, we don’t hate our jobs… it’s just nice to have something to look forward to every once in a while. Usually our Wacky Wednesday’s as we like to call them involve just treating ourselves to dinner.  But one week we heard about the lantern festival we decided to take our Wednesday’s to a new level. 

The lanterns are in Seoul, of course what isn’t in Seoul, so we took the subway after work for about an hour.  After a few transfers we had made it.   I didn’t really know what I was expecting. I thought it might just be beautiful lanterns… boy was I wrong.  These lantern’s were the size of floats in the Macy’s Day parade.  They were huge!

It was really cool to walk along the canal and just see these giant lanterns.  They were very beautiful!
