Birthday celebration

Yesterday a birthday was celebrated, and not just anyone's - it was Buddha's birthday. The festivities, known here as the candle festival, took place last night in the National Stadium, where people gathered to send hot-air balloons into the air. It indeed looked spectacular when hundreds of balloons left the ground, lighting up the night sky as stars.

We had brought five balloons. The first four refused to take off, and when we came to the fifth one we had run out of matches.


Here the full moon just comes out from behind some light clouds.
