I checked out that lantern thing and it was chinese tradition which might reflect to some countries nearby. We in here finland don't have that kind of festivals. It's so much about traditions. We do have spring break which is called "skiing break" if i translate it word-to-word. :) It is usually the turning point into last chapter of a term. Funny thing is that the spring break is one week long but it's on a different week depending on the part of the country. Just because of "inland- tourism" and skiing centrums. Just business things.

I really would like to see some traditional festival on some big country. China for example, (can't find bigger country) :D

But anyway. I hope you enjoyed your festival and had fun with firecrackers. And all the best for you with your studies. Hang on. o/
