Yesterday was the 'Mid-Autumn festival'. A day every year (according to the Chinese lunar calender), when the moon is at its highest and most brilliant, the people of the 'descendants of the dragon' will celebrate the mid-autumn's festival. I have really no recollection of how it all started. I think the formula went something like this..
+ 
= 
The full moon + pretty girl (who tried to save the world by downing some elixir of life potion) flies to the moon. I'm not sure how the Mooncake came into the picture.. Or lanterns.. Maybe the first mooncake was a moon inspired meat bun. Anyways, every year since, children will want to carry around paper lanterns everywhere. I can still recall how flammable these things are. The devastation that i felt after mine went up in flames once..
Childhood memories are everlasting .. Adults can experiment too.. Grins
