Day 9 - Mid Autumn Festival!

Happy Mid Autumn Festival everyone! Cold weather today! so everyone dressed in jeans and jacket and head to class! it was raining quite heavily as well! had pm lessons in the morning and the afternoon! lunch at soup restaurant. then we celebrated mid autumn festival on our own. as it was raining, we could not go out to celebrate. instead we did it outside the girls dorm. had some tea and mooncakes and played some games too! it was a great moment as i actually felt the warmth of a family, OIP 5th batch family!

Lunch at soup restuarant!

Dinner! Very big portion

Tea! Celebrate the Autumn!

Mooncake!

Reflections:

Mid autumn spent in china was certainly different. In china, mid autumn means getting back with your family and reunite. so during mid autumn, they travel back to their homes to celebrate with their family. they get a 3 days break to enjoy and celebrate this event. however in singapore, we dont have such holidays. another difference is that in china, they dont play with lanterns and candles. this is the cultural difference of singapore and china that i have learnt today.
