Release sky lanterns

“When we lit the wick, the tissue-paper bag begin to fill with warm air, and there was a moment when I got to hold the floating balloon in my hand before releasing it to the sky. [...] It’s ascent into the night began as a large pillow of glowing light. We traced the lantern until it was as small as a star might look from the ground. As we watched her wishes fade to a speck next to the moon and then slowly flash its final flames as it drifted down to the earth and out of sight, we both jumped up and down with child-like excitement.”

“An overwhelmingly vibrant ambience was already felt immediately right after I landed the ground, from the forward crowds which were trying to push me to move on from behind, the shouting storekeepers who were standing outside their store selling their service, and of course, to the sight of paper lanterns written with others’ wishes embarking on a journey to the sky [...] Whoa, who would not enjoy looking at the anti-gravity surrealness of the floating lanterns and being the one who was behind them?”
