The wise words of Lao Tsu

*This too will pass * When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be * When you realize that all things change, there is nothing you will try to hold on to * Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage

Mid Autumn Festival

So today is the second day and celebration day (of the moon) in the Mid Autumn Festival. The Chinese celebrate by eating "Moon Cakes" and fruit and I was told that the moon cakes should be eaten whilst drinking Green Tea (because they can be very sweet)This is link for those who wish to read more about it (Thanks Anna).. it's very interesting http://www1.chinaculture.org/library/2008-01/28/content_72879.htm Here is a present from my teacher friends at School, a big box of moon cakes...as you can see I've also got the green tea and the fruit at the ready..

Also, just for you mum....a yijin (1/2 kilo) of Local Yichang Freshly Roasted Chestnuts, still warm (they are roasted in hot coals in the city streets) I paid 10 yuan..$1.00 AUD is worth about 6 YUAN...so very cheap (and I was probably ripped off because I'm a waigou ren (foreigner) We pay a fortune for these in Australia (and we have to grill or roast them ourselves) so I wasn't complaining.
