Nine emperor gods

Every year whenever I see such flags being flown, I know that it's time for the Nine Emperor Gods festival.

This year, the nine-day festival starts from Monday (29 Sep 2008) and will go on until 7 Oct 2008. There are two Nine Emperor Gods temples near my residence and they are barely 500 metres apart. It may be even worse in George Town. I believe some of the temples there are on adjacent streets. That's even closer!

By the way, I don't celebrate this festival but I do enjoy the imaginative vegetarian fare that'll be on sale.
