Mid autumn - children's festival

This is the day in the lunar calendar when the moon is full and looks the nicest. In Vietnam they celebrate by wearing masks and having balloons and toys for children. It's kinda like halloween but twice a year!

Unfortunately we forgot to bring out camera, so here are some pics we stole from a news site! ;)





































Another tradition on this day is to eat a special fish cake. Actually it doesn't have fish inside, but it is a sweet cake in the shape of a fish...
