Mid-Autumn Festival

Today was one of the 3 day series of the mid-autumn festival that I celebrated! I received some mooncake, had fun with the cohort, and had a chance to see the fire dragon dance in Causeway Bay.  It was very exciting and very packed!! I wished there was more, but I enjoyed what I did get to see.

I also had a chance to write down a wish and place it on their wish wall in the open park area.  It made me long for home because this festival was meant to bring families together and enjoy the reunion.  It was a good feeling though… No sadness approached my heart.  Only happiness, wishes to keep them safe, and for them to feel my love so far away was all that ran across my mind..  The Chinese culture stresses family and respect everywhere and I am glad I got to be apart of it and understand how they feel out here.

Walk Down Memory Lane (now with photos!)

Hello everyone.  Do to the somewhat slow connection speeds of China’s interwebs, I was not able to upload photos with ease these past few months.  So in a make-up-for-lost-time mindset, as well as a good way to relive some of my memories, I shall start photo blog of sorts with my top fave pics and captions.  Enjoy!
