The night of touching down in Taipei, I headed out to take a look at the lanterns at National Dr. Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall. Despite the insistent rain, many people were out to admire the lanterns. I must say, regardless of which school level produced the lanterns (the elementary, the secondary, or the university school level), all the lanterns were very well done.

I think it would have been fun to have been able to participate in this competition myself. My lantern display probably would be filled with wacky things.
