Joe Louis celebrates at a local festival

 


See what other blogs are saying about Burma’s hot air balloon festival:

“Like a number of other festivals across Southeast Asia, there is little in the way of crowd control — well, there’s just about none, and one should be wary of getting in a position where you’re going to be stampeded, have a balloon collapse back onto you, or be set on fire by explosives, pyrotechnics or dropping candles.”
