Today we all did our own things. Nate went with our new friend and fellow Georgian Emily. They are both serious ‘techgeeks’ and spent the day watching a series named Sherlock. Nate was MIA from before lunch time to after dinner time. Chuck spent the day out with his friend Joni riding around near our old apartment it’s a 30-45 minute ride on scooter or e-bike. I entertained three people from the Yurin English Club who hosts the English Corners that we go to often. They brought gifts since we volunteer our time to go to the English Corners and this is the Mid Autumn Moon Festival.
Last year if you recall, I was learning first hand about the moon festival by being a part of it. This year there doesn’t seem to be anything special. However since we have been here for a year, we now have friends that wish us a happy moon festival and give us moon cakes. Moon cakes are individual cakes that are made with sweet or savory flavors inside them. Last year we were not well pleased with moon cakes but I wanted to see if a moon cake had been created that I liked. Well this year I was given several moon cakes and I like a couple of the flavors. Nate and Chuck still don’t find anything wonderful about moon cakes.
I am posting my story on Mid Autumn Festival and Chang’e. Enjoy it and the pictures too!
