What a surprise to find out that chinese in Auckland are very active society here. I came across an advertisment promoting Lantern Festivel that will be carried out at Albert Park near by. So my friends and I decided to pay a visit there and to find out what is happening there. Was it fun? and will there be lots of visitors since chinese is not a main population here in Auckland. But I am surprised to find out that there are lots of people, till it is hardly to walk. Whats more to grab a pic or two, we need to take turn. But still I do have a great time there.
Lantern festival. What is the story behind it. Initially we do not intend to go there since we heard that the festival is related to the religion. But after comforming with some peple, we decided to spend some time there since it is only something to do with the culture. So why dont we just grab the opportunity=) There are lots of stall and lantern around with all shapes. It is so colorful there (sampai tak berkelip mata rasenye). Mesmerised with the spirit they have. Eventhough they are not the main population here, but they still manage to conduct a happening festival like that (siap dengan bunga api lagik). How could they do that? Previously in Malaysia, I also admired the chinese there since they still can manage to monopoly the economy, education, and politic as well. I thought it is only something to do with the Malaysian chinese attitude. It suprised me to find out that the same thing happen here. What contribute to this result? Is it because the attitude of chinese itself or the self awareness they have? emm I wonder. I hope I could have the answer.
