It is a national holiday called bunka no hi (文化の日), Culture Day in Japan.
I am in Bangkok. Today is full moon. There is a special festival called Loy Krathong, "Floating Lantern" which is held in the fullmoon night of the twelfth month in the lunar calendar.
People make baskets of flowers and fruits and light a candle and inscents, then make a wish and let it float on the river.
Since I knew about it the day before yesterday, I have wanted to see and experience.
Today we had a big event followed by the reception. Since the festival lasts until late at night, I went out to experience.
I am glad to see the beautiful sunset, fullmoon, and the special festival.
