Happy Zhongqiu Festival!

Today is the mid-autumn festival aka Moon Festival aka Lantern Festival.  It's the day closest to the autumnal equinox when the moon is at its fullest.  Those in China are obligated to do the following:
1)  take the day off from work - check
2)  eat as much moon cake as possible - check
3)  including the tuna kind - unfortunately check
4)  and view paper lanterns flying into the sky - I saw a couple when I was walking home.  I guess that counts, so check

View of the full moon from my balcony.  There's only one moon in China.  My camera is weird.
