Near where I alive is a large area of grass together with a marquee was chop-chop erected. This also happened terminal twelvemonth during Ramadan together with for the celebrations next the catamenia of fasting (and I assume volition spill out over again this year). Therefore nigh a calendar week earlier a huge marquee was erected, flags position upwards etc. together with I noticed at or then other like site nearby a huge Buddha appeared as well. So regardless of whether you lot realised beforehand this would ensure you lot chop-chop realised something was happening soon. Although I should add together that I did know Vesak twenty-four hours was approaching.
