中秋月月 MoonCake festival





































On such a historic night, what were we thinking of? Neil Armstrong, the first man on the moon? Or Wu Gang the woodcutter? Or perhaps Chang-Er. Maybe some were thinking of a Werewolf in London.we celebrate the Mooncake Festival. Never mind the scientific and astronomical and astrological stuff, for come the 15th day of the Eight Lunar Month in the Chinese calendar, children still come out to play with lanterns and mooncakes are devoured and exchanged. Much of the cultural significance has disappeared but it is still a day to be remembered.
