For the Chinese community, this is a very important time. The Mid-Autumn Festival, celebrated on the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month, is an auspicious time to gather together and reunite families and friends, many whom come together to enjoy mooncakes, Chinese tea and appreciate the moon at it fullest. Chinatown is lit up with hundreds of lanterns and lights. You can also view the lanterns along the river at Clarke Quay where we went last night.
We joined the Erhardt family, minus hubby Tom who is in the USA for business trip. We ate dinner outside along the river at Cafe Iguana (great margaritas!). After a yummy dinner we walked along the river to view the beautiful, giant, amazing lanterns. The kids were in awe, all the lights and the people. A full moon was shining overhead, perfect for the night. We found a vendor selling lanterns (with battery powered lights, not the typical candles-a lot safer for the kiddos) and they walked along with their own lanterns. We had such a fun time!
