Recap: Lunar Calendar

Happy Mid-Autumn (a.k.a Moon) Festival! The Chinese version of Thanksgiving except you take the turkey, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie and swap it with crabs, grapes, and moon cakes. Of course it's not as commercialized yet, but it'll get there. A sure sign of a country reaching international levels is when it developes an overwhelming advertisement market.

By the lunar calender, today's actually mid-autumn you know.

Go and spend some time with your family, eat some moon cakes, you can't quite see the Lady of the Moon because we're on the wrong side of Earth (looking at different crater areas here) but it's the thought that counts, I'm sure.

Cheers.
