Every year, I will celebrate by going home to my Parents' house, have dinner with them, 'admire the full moon' and eat mooncakes with my family.
Chinese people believe a full moon is a symbol of peace, prosperity, and family reunion. On Mid-Autumn Festival night the moon is supposed to be the brightest and fullest, it is often known as the"Day of Reunion" .
When I went back to Singapore in July, I bought some paper lanterns and my auntie gave the children batteries operated musical lanterns to bring back to Toulouse. I'm glad I did.
