Tanabata celebrations

Last weekend Kyoto Kagai sim hosted Tanabata - the start festival. According to legend, each July 7(7th day of the 7th month of the Lunar calendar) two stars, Altair and Vegae, which are usually separated, travel the Milky Way to renew their ancient bond of love. In RL as well as in SL Japan, we celebrate their reunion of two lovers by taking part in summer games and enjoying delicious foods from the stalls. One particular tanabata tradition says that by writing wishes on the colorful piece of paper and hanging it on the bamboo will make your wish come true. Have you tried?
Time for some summer games!
Fireworks!
