Moon Day

When the moon is full, mankind is one.

The Moon Festival otherwise known as Mid-Autumn Festival, is just around the corner (Sept 22). It's one of the most important holidays in Taiwan.

Besides admiring the full moon and eating moon cakes, barbeque has become a very popular family activity on the Moon Festival. With the time passed by, the religious significance of the Festival has become less and less in the modern urban life, but the full moon keeps radiating tender lights on every smiling face in the warmth of family and friends gatherings.

And last Friday, we celebrated the Moon Festival ahead of time at Phil's rest house in Miaoli.








Preparing at the bar...


Typical BBQ stuff - pork, chicken, mushroom, dried tofu, squid balls, clams, tienpula...




I burnt my hand while barbecuing. It hurts...

See that steel pipe behind me? That's where I burnt my right hand. By the way, Angel and I are wearing our new cute aprons.
