Over the weekend, we went to the Nara Candle Festival with some friends. This festival is held every year to celebrate the sister-city relationship that Canberra holds with Nara, Japan. The festival consists of various Japanese food stalls, artwork, cultural displays, music and other things of that sort. At the end of the night, thousands of candles are lit in a closing ceremony – it was very beautiful. Also, to top things off, a group of Japanese school girls sang We Are The World, complete with an amazing solo by a random Japanese guy. It was truly a wonderful evening.
