Enjoying The Long Weekends

I love May! It has two long weekends to enjoy. Two weeks ago we had the Ascension (of Christ) Day long weekend and this week is Vesak Day long weekend. Vesak day is a celebration of the birth, the Enlightenment, and the death of the Buddha. Here in Indonesia, the celebration of Vesak (Waisak) Day 2010 is centered at Borobudur Temple in Magelang, Central Java.

Happy Vesak Day! And happy weekend everyone, I’m out of town now enjoying the holiday!
