Yesterday there was the mid-autumn-festival in Hong Kong — and some other Asian countries as well.

We were invited by our hostparents to join the family dinner, so we could learn something about how Hong Kong people celebrate this day. Tradional food is moon cakes with different flavours and pomelos. After dinner people go on the streets or in parks to meet friends or play candle games — however I still don’t know exactly how that works. It seems that little children have lots of fun, running around and glowing neon sticks, which replace the tradional toys and lanterns.

My festive mood was supported by an orange lantern I got (for free) at Yoshinoya (Japanese fast food chain — but way better than American fast food chains, which name I don’t want to post)…hehe. By the way it’s a very nice decoration and my room becomes a little more comfortable.
