Autumn Moon Festival

In our hustle and bustle, we forgot that it's Mid-Autumn Moon Festival. This is an Asian holiday, but anyone can join in the reindeer games by looking at the moon, which is a Harvest Moon - the biggest of the year.

For moon fun: NASA. And for Chinese delicacies, go to Chinatown or Flushing. And Gothamist had to rerun this photo from last year's post. We think this pig mooncake is still in our fridge.

It's a Japanese holiday too! Just last night friends of mine here in Kyoto took a trip to a local shrine, but the moon was obscured by clouds. Damn typhoon hit a little early and blocked out the view. We still managed to have sweets and green tea though, so not all was lost.
