Papier-mâché fireflies over Chiang Mai
I have never been to Thailand, and I have never seen the Yi Peng Lantern Festival in Chiang Mai in real life. So this was an unbiased VR experience for me — and afterwards I even learned more about the festival. The feeling was quite special: standing among people with lanterns and watching these simple, beautiful papier-mâché fireflies rise into the sky, becoming distant stars for a short moment. When the fireworks started, I had a funny thought: “Are they going to shoot down these beautiful fireflies?” Joking — partly. After a while, one lantern actually seemed to be “hit” and drifted down gracefully. A stunning and memorable VR experience.
