It's a Bird! It's a Plane!

I'm really excited about this weekend. This will be my first real trip with my girlfriend. That alone will make things pretty amazing and fun.

What is better is that we are going to the Pingxi (I've also seen it written as Pingsi) Lantern Festival. It should be awesome (so long as it doesn't rain). To get an idea of what I am talking about check out these Flickr photos:

Or you can check out the event site (in traditional Chinese): http://act.tourism.tpc.gov.tw/skylantern/activeinfo1.html

I'll update about it when I get back!
