What is this festival anyway?

 

 

Something to do with a couple of God lovers only being able to meet once a year.

 

I think.

Pancakes taste like well seasoned DVD cases.

It's a festival originating from China. It's known as the Star Festival that is celebrated on the 7th day of the 7th month.

The (quick) story is about Orihime and Hikoboshi, who are astrological deities who are seperated by the Milky Way. They can only meet on this together on this day.

A popular custom of this festival is to write a wish on paper and put it on bamboo trees in hopes it will come true. I think some areas of Japan celebrate it a month later, because there are different lunar calendars.

The subject of this topic has little potential to spark discussion between many members and, as such, would be better suited to a status update or a blog. When creating a thread, please remember that the goal is to start a conversation with room for many people to chime in and give their own viewpoints on, and that sharing events of an anecdotal nature would be better done elsewhere.
