The inaugural Tokyo Hotaru festival was held last weekend. And kicking off the festivities were an impressive display of 100,000 LED lights – made to resemble hotaru (fireflies) – that floated down the Sumida River through central Tokyo. Dubbed “prayer stars,” the LEDs were provided by Panasonic, who claims that the balls, which were designed to light up upon contact with water, were 100% powered by solar energy.

      WordPress is hosting this blog.
      My site used to be very slow in loading.
      On the advice of my son I started using a light weight Theme, with limited number of widgets.
      Now the site is loading faster.
