Sky Lanterns

Now, most of us have heard or seen many videos featuring the release of thousands and thousands of lanterns. We all, I'm sure, think it looks so magical and wish we could be a part of something so beautiful.

Oooooh....aaahhhhh....

Sky lanterns are also known as Kongming Lanters. They are used in some Asian countries as a tradition during festivals. They also have been used in many other countries around the world.

The lanterns were frowned upon because originally the lanterns had wire frames, which not only polluted the very place you wanted to make beautiful, but also was a danger to any livestock or animals near by. They are illegal in parts of China and Germany and completely illegal in all parts of Australia. The whole fire hazard thing is in issue as well, since the flame doesn't always go completely out when it loses enough power to float. Currently, they have come up with an ecologically friendly version of the lantern. There is still that whole little fire problem though.  

BUT WHATEVER IT'S PRETTY!

I wanna go on a date like Rapunzel and kiss a cute boy!

I never let a little fire hazard stop me from doing what I want. Let the mother fucker burn...
