Bab 322: V6C55

It was a clear night sky despite the snowfall last week. Streets were congested with people. Waves of chatter and glimmering of lights could be seen emitting from the festival which signified the importance of that day.

It was New Year's eve.

The entire area near the largest shrine in the town was occupied for organising the festival for New Year. It was on higher ground, so the luminescence from all the lamps could be observed from miles away.

From stalls of food to fun little games, everything was available in the vicinity of the festival. The subtle smell which rose from the mixture of aroma of dishes and the materials used for preparation, gave the atmosphere a distinct persona.

People were strolling around with a smile as bright as the moon in the sky, after all, it was an auspicious occasion. From people walking around alone to spending time with their loved one, or families, everyone was gathered there.
