A few weeks ago was moon festival. This is a Chinese festival and coming together is celebrated. It runs on a lunar month so its when the moon is full and round, also signifying unity. Apparently all family members try to be together at this time and people normally BBQ as they say... or just braai. People also give gifts and everyone eats moon-cakes, which are cakes that are round and have special fillings... some are especially yucky and others especially nice.
I got quite a stash from my kids which is really cool.
The Pomelo is the official fruit of moon festival, the kids wear them as hats and they do all sorts of crazy things with them. Also there is this really cool vibe and atmosphere, everyone is happy and excited... it was very cool
This is a kid with the whole pomelo thing going on. Her name is Sherry, I teach her, she is only 3!!! All the teachers love her, i think she looks like a monkey, a cute monkey, but monkey nonetheless.
