tigers + mooncakes.

happy mid-autumn festival.
while i am part chinese, i never really partook in festival activities; to be honest, i don't even know the meaning behind it. an old employee and friend [who moved back to taiwan] is here on vacation and brought some delicious mooncakes making this a good time to learn about it. here's what i found out:
- mid-autumn festival or chinese moon festival is one
of the most important festivals for the chinese people;
it's an official holiday.
- ancient chinese believed the movement of the moon played an important role in the changing of seasons and agricultural production. they worshiped the moon and gave offerings
of thanks for successful crops.
- round shape of the mooncake symbolizes reunion of family. eating mooncakes together with family and enjoying the moon at its fullest is an important part of the festival.

I think mooncakes are the prettiest delicacies. I've never had one. Great explanation, because I didn't know the meaning behind it. Love your top!

I've never had a mooncake. It looks so pretty and delicious. I really like your shoes! The tiger top looks so comfy too. :)

Cool top and pants. I love moon cake, but some of them have the egg in the middle and it's salty - tastes weird.

One of my students had a mooncake at lunch today! It took all my willpower not to steal a bite! They look so tasty!!

You always have such great style. I love that shirt. I have been looking for something similar but with a lion (lions are kind of my favorite animal).

Love the shoes and your pants. It looks really comfy and I'm no Chinese but where I live, we celebrate Moon or Moon cake festival. I haven't even tried eating 'em. Maybe this weekend.
