This Sunday people all over Asia celebrate Mid-Autumn Day. Traditionally this day marked the end of summer harvesting for farmers. The date for this celebration is different every year b/c it is based off of the lunar calendar, so every Mid-Autumn Day celebration closes with a beautiful full moon. Only one bad thing about living in a place that's constantly covered by dense clouds and fog, you don't get many glimpses of the moon. :) But we did get to celebrate with a few friends tonight by eating a special treat that's only made/sold once a year...Moon Cakes! 
And I got to treat our friends to homemade frappuccinos!
