After endless boasting to my flat mates and next-door neighbors about going to a fabulous Lantern Festival, yesterday I went to the Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo for a Lantern Festival. The Lantern Festival comprised of many Lanterns. However since we are not very smart we decided to go in the day. Therefore the Lanterns were not lit up. Our plan was to head over to the Imperial Palace Gardens where we had heard a secondary Lantern Festival took place in the evening. We walked across the entire bastard city to the Imperial Palace. Since the Imperial Palace is as big as the world we couldn’t find the entrance or the secondary Lantern Festival. So instead we sat defeated in a park drinking Chu-Hi imagining what the Lantern Festival might have been like. The park was beautiful and filled with fountains, which looked amazing under the lights so it ended up being a lovely evening, despite the lack of Lanterns. Lanterns.
