If you have see the TVC of Welcome 2 Taiwan, with Jolin Tsai and 吴念真, you will not miss the part when you see him 放天灯. If you have read my previous blog, I did mention that I did that.


MPP mentioned that we could 放天灯 in 十分. I was quite amused because I have never done it before. I mean, I keep seeing it on TV, hearing people saying it, but I have never done it, despite I had been to Taipei twice already.

黄先生brought us to a shop to buy these lanterns. The auntie could not really tell us, what does the different colours of lanterns mean, so we simply picked the colours we like. It was the first time for all of us, so we had no idea what to do. Anyway, I think the Taiwanese are really friendly people. I saw 黄先生chit chatting with some uncle while waiting for us, later then I realised they are also drivers waiting for their passengers too.

All of them came over to teach us how to light up the lantern, how to let it fly up to the sky properly. We were supposed to write our wishes on the lantern, lighted it up, hold it till the hot air filled up the lantern and let it fly up. My lantern was lit up by MPP, (haha, I dare not lit it up myself). I am really overjoyed to see my lantern flying up to the sky. I do not know how to describe the feeling. I just think that, my message will go all the way up. All of us will be blessed.

This is the biggest lantern I ever have. Though I only own it less than an hour, but I find it very meaningful.
