On the 28th of May, South Koreans are celebrating Buddha's birthday, but a lot of festivities already commence a week ahead of this day. We were very lucky to take part in one of them, the Lotus Lantern Festival. The streets of Seoul were decorated with the most beautiful lanterns and on Saturday and Sunday evening, there were impressive light parades. During the day, a lot of streets were closed to traffic and we enjoyed Korean dance and singing performances. On Sunday, we went hiking in the mountains around Seoul and even there, lanterns all around.
