Tonight in light of a Buddhist festival taking place in Ubon, one of Erin's students bought these paper balloons that are to be lit on fire and placed in the sky. So after class today we went with the students to the near by park and they helped us light the balloons and set them up to fly! It was really cool to see our balloons lit up in the sky, as they went higher and higher! They believe this brings good luck and you're suppose to pray before you do it. We both said a little prayer to God not buddha! It was a really cool experience!
