This
post is just an excuse to post pretty pictures.
I met
up with my friend Svetlana at Sokolniki park, to attend a festival.
The
chinese lantern festival was scheduled to be in the park for three
months, but I wanted to see it almost as soon as I heard about it.
The
sign at the front of the festival said there were 40 something
lanterns set up, though I'm not sure how they counted.
It was
a cold night, but it was still worth wandering around for an hour or
more, just to see all the different lanterns.
Some
of the lanterns were more 'Chinese' while others were just there.
The
entry fee was pretty steep, 700 rubles. That's as much as I've paid
for big museums like the Hermitage!
I hope
there is another festival like this one next year, I'd gladly go
again.
