Full moon + mooncakes + paper lanterns + being a Chinese guy equals...

中秋节!

I love occasions like these. Just hanging with family and friends, munching on mooncakes, and taking snapshots of the full moon.

Anyone else still celebrating? The full moon is still out...

And what a coincidence, the festival began on Halo 3's release (September 25).

Man I would love to but our schedules are full as hell so we can't celebrate it.

AND I LOVE MOONCAKES :gonk:

Maybe next year.

As much as I love pie, mooncakes are the best, the filling in the middle (the one that doesn't have the "egg") are just so damn delicious.

I saw some chocolates shaped like mooncakes at a sweet shop. Interesting...

The filling is called lotus paste, by the way.

My lantern festival failed. The only good thing I got out of it was this photo - http://reapermanhk.deviantart.com/art/Reach-for-the-Moon-66041474

Go study Chinese history, buddy. And buy some mooncake - even if you're not Chinese, you're missing out on good stuff.

Don't buy the ones with "egg" or whatever that is in the middle, that just doesn't taste great with the paste.
