The Mid-Autumn Festival is now in full swing. The Festival seems to revolve around decorative lanterns and giving people mooncakes (sickly sweet heavy cakes with chinese writing on them). Some taste better than others. We even came across a giant mooncake which must be Singapore's version of the big banana.
Last night our condo management held an event which included a traditional chinese music performance, taste testing lots of mooncakes and chinese tea and playing some kids games. First game was "questions and answers" which all the expat children looked confused about because they thought it was a pretty poor excuse for a game. At any moment I was expecting the organiser to handout worksheets but then the tone got a little less academic with musical chairs and "force feed your Dad a mooncake". The event ended with a lantern procession around the condo.
