In the evening families or neighbors start a bonfire. Tomi and Mimi have a big bonfire in front of their house. There is music playing and people are going around the fire to throw corn kernels and popcorn in the fire. People are dancing to the rhythmic music of the drummers. They are eating Indian Naan bread baked in a fire oven outside. Everyone is having a great time.

Also known as the City of Lanterns, this historical trading post is filled with old buildings, teahouses, restaurants, shops, museums, and … lanterns. There are lanterns to make, lanterns to buy and lanterns to lit. Tomi and Mimi went on a little boat ride and placed a lit candle in the water. It was a lovely sight and all the little lanterns together were making a colorful feast on the river.

At first we thought it would be too touristic and we almost didn’t go! Thank goodness we did, because we had such a delightful evening. The live music was such a cultural enrichment and watching the puppets on the water was such a lovely experience.

Most exciting were the train rides that Tomi and Mimi took on the special mini trains. So cute, ideal for children and very lovely indeed. The National Rail Museum also has an exhibition inside about the history of the railways, different uses, train mechanics and different sorts of engines.
