Mid Autumn Festival (3 Oct 2009) October 4, 2009

Yesterday, it’s Mid Autumn Festival. Same celebration for this festival, children like to play lanterns and we ate Chinese Moon cakes/ snowy moon cakes during this period.A little bit different is this year is 60 anniversary of China. There were tons of celebration during this period. People who living in mainland China have 8 days public holidays but we HONG KONG people only had 1 day holiday on 1.10.2009.

Beside the celebration of the festival and anniversary, i did not forget about the news around the world. The typhoon in Philipines and the earthquake in Indonesia. Tons of people are still suffering from these nature disaster. Now, there is another typhoon will go to Philippines again..and Taiwan too! I can perceive that the weather is become really unusual.

We cannot ignore the power of nature. Human keep polluting the earth, the revenge of nature has been already starting…
