April 29-May 5 is a series of holidays that make a week of spring break for many people. Of course, Taka chooses to work half the time and Maya has holiday homework to do...so big fun time. Anyway, families with baby boys born in the year celebrate the birth of their sons with colorful and expensive flags. Our village "banned" the practice for many years because they felt it discriminated against families who could not afford fancy flags but it seems that the ruling has loosened and there are a couple of households flaunting their wealth with the colorful displays.
The wheat is just beginning to turn color- a faint gold tinge creates a glow over the fields.

Why are the banners so expensive? Can they not be purchased once and used again or is that in bad taste?
