Moon Gazing and Pot Pies

This is "French Culture Year" in China and I've already noticed a marked Franconization of Chinese culture. The wait staff in the cafes are growing increasingly surly. Before long I fear they will begin abusing customers at will.

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival when Chinese families are supposed to gather together, gaze at the full moon and eat mooncakes. We had a modified version of the festival in our house. We gathered together, watched Malcolm in the Middle on Star World and ate vegetable pot pies. Afterward we did the traditional moon-gazing and rollerblading around the neighborhood.

I'm going to see if we can't start that tradition here in West Coast Peavine.
