Mid-Autumn Festival

Today is the Mid-Autumn festival, let's talk about it.

I always thought that the word "autumn" very romantic. When I grow up, we learned the word "autumn" instead of "fall" for the season between summer and winter. I still remember that it gave me so much hard time to try to learn the word autumn. Unlike all the other word that looks more "make sense", the word "autumn" just looks strange. It looks like "au" + ""tu" + something that cannot pronounce. Maybe that's why I always like the word "autumn", and I think that from liking the word, it slowly become liking the whole season (I grow up in the sub-tropical, so there is not much or an autumn).

When I came to Canada, it is like, fall? Fall what?? Fall term? I don't want to fall my whole term.

I don't like the fact now I lot of people just call it the moon festival. Moon my you know what, I know there are moon-cake, you suppose to look at the moon (sorry, enjoying the great view of the moon), it is the Mid-autumn my friend, don't make it sound like a festival of people wearing no pants.

Am I the only one the feel that? If I listen to that darn commercial on the radio about at the "MOON festival" you can go to eat some suckling pig at the local "M" restaurant, I will tear all my hair out. Suckling pig? What suckling pig? How does it have to do with suckling pig?

Maybe I am old fashion, but I still like my ultra-romantic, walking under the bright, bright moon at the autumn night kind of festival.

Time to raid the "Moon" cake.
