Mid-Autumn Festival

It feels great to have a day off here in Taiwan. Why the fuzz? It's just because we don't have that much. Public holidays just don't exist much in this country called Taiwan. Basically, in a year, you'll be lucky to have a week off for public holidays and that includes a few days for Chinese New Year already. So this is a rare and precious time here:)

However, what's intriguing is the tradition that comes along with this festivity. Besides the traditional mooncake-eating, during the mid-autumn festival celebration here, everybody bbqs. Interesting! If you know the reason why they do this, please let me know:). I've been here for 6 years and I'm still clueless about the reason behind this tradition.
