Today (yesterday in China) marks the Moon Festival or the Mid-Autumn Festival as it is also called.
Traditionally a time of family gathering, the festival dates back to at least 3,000 years. A time of being with family, and eating the traditional food - moon cakes. I'm not really sure how to describe moon cakes, maybe a type of pastry, with different kinds of filling, from red beans to meats to fruits and more.
