Tour - Chiang Mai festival
I saw this festival on the web.
I immediately thought how Filipinos could screw it up.
How often do you watch tagalog films in a theater?

*LOL* yeah. We filipinos are brilliant mimics, but kind of careless (sometimes) on the little issues like safety and quality control.

There is a local equivalent to that called the Palobo.
Such festive Hot-Air balloons were even mentioned in Rizal’s novels

har har har… usually, the flame inside the paper lantern usually dies out after 10 minutes without even touching the paper itself.

Wow, I watched the video, and it looked really great. Do they really float? How is it done?
Leo: Is that still ongoing till now?

they’re usually done during new year and songkran festival chomps, what they do is create a rectangular cube with a candle receptacle. the hot air collected inside the cube will then lift up the balloon.

Did L just shudder at chompy’s post? I know I did. :-S
Er, chompy make sure you have some good cover when you do this and make sure no flammable materials are around. Best do it in a place least susceptible to burning down, exploding or spontaneously combusting.

Relax, Mary. If there’s something pinoy’s are better at than screwing things up, is surviving disasters. Filipinos are like phoenixes. we rise from the ashes to become better than where we started from.

Ashes? er, nooot the best simile for this topic pheobs…

pun intended, Mary. btw, did you see L’s post in Airport?
