rabbit or wife

It's Mid-autumn festival day today.
In Japan, it's known as '十五夜(Juu go ya)'.


In Singapore, peoples are guying and eating Moon cakes during festive period while Japanese may eat 'Tsukimi Dango (kind of rice dumpling, not mochi rice cake)'.

Tsukimi dango has old old people's believe that rabbits living in the moon.
Moon cake has a story of Chang Er, a little bit sad story...
Although both following lunar calender but takes very different way to celebrate this festival...
Which you like?




Tsukimi dango, bite size. old time people sit out side, look up moon and eat this.


Luckily today it's quite clear sky and I am able to look up full moon.



By the way I think Moon cakes are getting more varieties every year...
