Last November 6, I was online on Facebook, pretty much doing what half of the 750 million active users are doing… One friend sent me a message on Facebook then I clicked the link and made my reservation. Whooosh! I got all excited. Banchetto-Megatent will have a Wish Lantern activity on Nov. 11, 2011. Plus, 11.11.11 is one of those rare moments you should not miss because it would happen only once in your whole lifetime. The event goes viral. I am desperate to see sky lanterns! It was in Chinese belief that if they fly a lantern, then their hope will be closer to the sky, and then the hope will be more likely to come true. Thinking it's time for me to fly one. It turned out the other way around. It's all over Facebook.
REALITY
We still enjoyed the night with or without the lantern rather than flipping out, all of us sat down for a hearty meal anyway as if nothing had happened at all. For starters, we had corn dogs. By the way, if you haven’t tried Banchetto it is a weekly overnight food fiesta starts from 8pm until 7am. Filled with food stalls offers a wide variety of food such as, finger foods, salads, street foods, desserts, rice dishes, entrees, baked goods, home specialty, wraps, pastas, fruits and veggies. Definitely you’ll never run out of choices.
While Metrowalk and Banchetto-Megatent were the main attractions, we went to Eastwood one of the coolest spots in Metro and where nights never die young. The environment is very westernized, upscale and upbeat (call center-infested chos!). If your on budget, you can just sit around and watch people passing by.
