National Day hugs the Mid-Autumn Festival

@changjiangzhibin89 How wonderful! I know I could get moon cakes here . . . I should see if the bakery still has them (it usually sells for half the month). I am so glad to the virus is controlled over there. This was a very interesting read!

@changjiangzhibin89 They will keep selling the moon cakes here until they are gone. Do you make your own? I know I can get the ingredients, but I don't know if I can locally get the pan that it should be made in to make the fancy patterns on the outside. I guess even if things are pretty clear with the rest of the world, everyone must stay cautious. With all the borders opening up, it is possible for the spread to happen again. We are not even in an "again" situation . . . we are still in the original situation. Is it getting colder where you are? Here it is still very much like summer, although we had a couple cool days here.

@much2say Over here, there was a great run on moon cakes during two festivals,I guess so did there,seeing as there are many Chinese over there.Though we have kept the virus controlled, we are all cautious ,especially the weather turns cold.

Yes,the whole country is in a festive mood .Thank you ! I will definitely wear a mask if go on an outing.

@rebelann I don't make any travel this time.I think the link below may help.

Do you also take photos @changjiangzhibin89 ? It would be so interesting to see what a festival looks like in China, I have never been there.

@changjiangzhibin89 Does your fall celebration have special foods?

@GardenGerty There is a popular food called "chicken stew with chestnuts".

This year,Thanksgiving falls on Nov.26 .I know people over there will eat Turkey that day.

Here we are halfway through Autumn,according to lunar calendar.

@changjiangzhibin89 So when does spring come back?

t@BarBaraPrz The Spring begins on Feb.3 ,2021 here next year.

@RebeccasFarm The lockdown has long since been lifted where I live and hasn't had a Covid-19 case for quite some time.

Yes,the Mid-autumn Festival will soon come round.

@changjiangzhibin89 And I wonder if it will be the same as other years...no lockdown I hope Chang

Yes,Thank you!

@TheHorse Thank you ! I didn't start that many posts here.

@changjiangzhibin89 No idea how I stumbled on this older post. But I hope you had a good time.

Thank you ! There have been no cases of Covid-19 for quite some time in our city.

Nice to see you ! How are you doing ? We had a great time ,thank you !

@Carmelanirel2 Thank you for updating me on how things are in your family ! Over there many must have a tough life due to the pandemic.Hope things take a turn for the better !

@changjiangzhibin89 I am doing well, the family is safe and healthy and when it looks like our finances will turn bad, something comes up that brings us through. I know for a fact that since this started back in march that G-d has taken care of us, because we were struggling, so any lack of income could be our downfall, but He's kept us going.

Thank you very much !

Of course ,there are a small number of people who have to be at work out of necessity during the festivals.

@changjiangzhibin89 oh they makes more sense.

Yes, we did.It is rare for two holidays to happen to be on the same day.

@changjiangzhibin89 I'm so happy you enjoyed that rare occurrence. Something like that is so very special.

Thank you ! We all had.

@changjiangzhibin89 I'm glad you did.

Yes, we have lots of fun during the festivals.

This year,there was an interval of one day between two festivals.People in work still took 8 days off.

Thank you ! Yes,it is once in a blue moon.

Thank you ! 8 days off work consist of Saturday and Sunday and Statutory holidays.

It is safe .People packed every tourist attraction during two festivals, which speaks volumes about it.

I did ,thank you !

Thank you ! We had a wonderful time.

Never mind ! Most workers have their holidays,except some workers who have to work overtime as what work demands.
