Tanabata (Star Festival), 

Japan

07 Jul 2010 - 07 Jul 2010  

According to Chinese legend, the two stars Altair and Vega, normally separated by the Milky Way, are allowed to meet on the seventh night of the seventh month. It is a time to write down your secret wishes and tie them to a bamboo structure set up for the purpose, in the hope that you will meet your true love rather more frequently than poor Altair and Vega.
