Photo of the Day (9/22/07)
Today's photo of the day comes from Gadling reader weegolo who captured this colorful scene at the Lantern Festival in Singapore. I'm not sure which Lantern Festival it is, however. After doing some research, it seems like it's the Mid-Autumn festival (which is also called the Lantern Festival), but this year's event doesn't start until September 25th. Maybe this installation was setup in preparation for the festival?

That's right, it IS the mid-autumn festival, and altho 25th Sept's the day, we start the celebrations a month earlier, in late Aug. :)

You're right, the mid-autumn festival is actually next Tuesday - but just as mince pies and Christmas lights appear well before Christmas in England, so mooncakes and lanterns appear long before the day itself in Singapore.
