Wesak Day is an annual holiday observed traditionally by practicing Buddhists in South Asian & South East Asian countries, universally commemorated on the full moon in the lunar month of Viskha, usually during late April or early May. Informally called "Buddha's birthday," it actually encompasses the birth, enlightenment Nirvana, and passing (Parinirvana) of Gautama Buddha.

a madman at the square - talking to himself

I was actually in Munich, then London, before Athens.  It was for work, so unfortunately i only had 1 day to walk around town.  It's a beautiful city, i wish i had more time to learn about the city.  I hope to go back some day.
