July 7th is "Tanabata," which is a Japanese star festival,
originating from the Chinese Qixi Festival.
It celebrates the meeting of the deities Orihime and Hikoboshi
(represented by the stars Vega and Altair respectively).
According to the legend, the Milky Way separated these lovers,
and they are allowed to meet only once a year
on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month.
It's like "Romeo and Juliet," and it is kinda special day for couples.
Also, in Japan, people generally celebrate this day by writing wishes
on "tanzaku", small pieces of paper and hanging them on bamboo.
Therefore, we wrote our wishes on the papers,
and hung them on the bamboo in front of our bedroom.
This is the Milo's wish.
We hope our wishes come true.
