Mooncake Festival

Hi, I suppose all my relatives and friends in Singapore celebrated Mooncake festival on last Friday. Over here in States, we do try to celebrate all the festive seasons that we used to celebrate in Singapore. My parents sent me a pair of lanterns this year. On last Friday, we lighted the lanterns and went out for a walk in the apartment complex. It was a very windy night and we were afraid that the candles in the lanterns would be blown out by the wind. Fortunately, this did not happen. However, the sky was overcast, so we were not able to see the moon very well. Someone told me before that the moon always looks the same no matter where you are in this world. So, even though we may be far away from Singapore, but I think the moon that we are seeing is the same as what my family and friends are seeing in Singapore. On Saturday night, we had a good view of the moon near the mountains when we were driving along the highway to one of our German friend's place for dinner. The moon looked very big and round from the angle that we were approaching. It was a magnificent sight.
