Where Have All The Lanterns Gone?
03 Oct 2009
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival my dear friends!
I was having breakfast this morning when it suddenly dawned on me that I haven’t been seeing any shops selling lanterns. Only mooncakes were displayed abundantly everywhere. So, where have all the lanterns gone?
I miss those lanterns of yore sorely. Coming in various designs – chicken, rabbit, dog – these lanterns made of colourful translucent papers were hanging proudly in the shops, blatantly wooing children like myself to pester our parents for some money to buy them home.
