In November was Deepavali also known as Diwali. Deepavali is the Hindu festival of light. To experience it we went to an Indian restaurant in Little India. On the upper floor of the restaurant diners have to remove their shoes and sit on pillows on the floor. After dinner we walked around some of the night markets set up for the festival. As you can see it's a very colorful festival.
