today is the mid-autumn festival(or moon festival). here in taiwan, people usually eat mooncakes and have barbecues as well as look at the moon on this date. in the past i've recieved lots of mooncakes, but the last couple of years i haven't recieved as many. it's a shame as i love mooncakes. my work is pretty cheap so they don't give out mooncakes. they give out gift certifcates to 7-11 instead. well, it's better than nothing, but i'd rather have the mooncakes. peter and i will be celebrating tonight by going to his mother's house for a barbecue with most of his family.
