 Sending wishes up to heaven.

There was a little village in the Taiwan countryside that specialized in this business.  People would write their wishes or whatever all over the paper balloon and then send it up to the sky.  One person was hoping that his job would go well.  Another that someone name Jenny would learn to drive safely.  Some had firecrackers attached which would start going off when the balloon was high up.  It was quite a sight when a number were drifting up through the sky at the same time.  I am wondering how many environmental and flight regulations this would violate in the US.

Looks like a cool new New Years tradition.

It was a fun visit to the place. They were lighting these over a railroad track. Everyone had to move out of the way when the train came through. The various fireworks made for some great entertainment.

Looks a bit like a huge cork with an opening.
