Continuation from last time, except this time when the lanterns are lit at night! Again in January before the Olympic crowd comes through.

Stood on the intersection of two streets, and there were lots of untold stories. Although I did not hear any of them, I was there to document their moment.

As you can see (from the lack of people on the streets!), this is going a while back in January. Three weeks before the Olympics started in Vancouver, LunarFest started on Granville St, between Robson and Georgia, displaying 2010 lanterns made by Taiwanese children as part of Cultural Olympiad. Being a Taiwanese Canadian, it was great to see something displayed so prominently to the world while the Winter Olympics was on. A description of it can be seen on the second photo.
In addition to the lanterns that the elementary school kids made, there were also bigger themed lanterns by Canadian and Taiwanese artists in what’s called “Love, Life and Light”. They look even better at night, which I will be posting later!
