September 25 is Mid-Autumn Festival day in China. As far as I can tell, it pretty much amounts to everyone giving everyone else mooncakes as gifts. They're like this cupcake-size "cakes" that are not really all that sweet and are usually filled with pork or bean curd or something else. Occasionally, you'll get lucky and find a sweet one!
Matt's students bought him two boxes of mooncakes, which is a pretty big deal since they are fairly expensive--especially for students! One of Amy's classes through a party on campus to celebrate, and both of us were invited. There was snacks, games and karaoke, of course. Unfortunately, we didn't get out of either of these! We both ended up playing a game and Amy had to sing karaoke. We had a great time hanging out with the students!
This is a picture of one of Amy's students singing and video of one of the games... In the game, there are two blindfolded people. One is feeding the other one some kind of fruit with chopsticks! Luckily, this is not the game we had to play!
