No birthday cake but plenty of candles amongst the countless glowing lanterns. Safe to say Buddha is old.Hey, it's May 21st, Buddha's birthday. Being a national holiday, it's probably bigger than any birthday party you've ever had. How old is Buddha nowadays? Hard to tell. There's no cake, so you can't exactly count the candles. In fact, they're in the lanterns. Traditionally, people all around celebrate with glowing lanterns. On this night, we visited the 1000 year old Songgwangsa Temple to catch a glimpse of the lanterns at twilight, which were especially spectacular above the flowing stream of the temple.
