Moon Festival!

Moon Festival is celebrated throughout the month of September.
Mooncakes began showing up in all the shops, and even on the tables in the break room on B2.
They come in a variety of flavors.
After trying the one in the top photo, we weren't interested in trying any others.
But, Sister Law offered us some she had made , and they were much better.
We learned that President and Sister Hui have come up with their own version of mooncake, and after having a sampling of theirs, we voted theirs the winner of all Mooncakes.
They are so delicious that we couldn't get enough of them.  We ate them so quickly that we had them devoured before realizing we didn't even get a photo of their delectable creation.
Colorful light displays were set up at the Cultural Center.
 The last day of the festival is when the fireworks begin.
We joined Sisters Chan and Chan to forge through the crowd along the promenade
 to watch the display.
Below is what we saw in the harbor.
Boats and small ships sailed close to get a good view of the show.
The fireworks were being launched from larger boats in the harbor.
 The Grand Finale
