Friday after jamming I went down to the CAP at block 48 near my church to go see how the church people and those in the neighbourhood were mingling. It was pretty ok, lively, noisy, entertaining and such. Spent some time talking with the old folks with my mom and dad. Besides that I didn't really do much except eat lots and lots of mooncakes and drink lots of tea haha.
Heres a pic of the place.
There were Guzheng performances, movie screenings and photo taking sessions going on. Took one photo with the rest of YE, and ugh when will I ever become photogenic hahaha. I think my eyes were closed in the picture. And I was in the front row some more.
Mooncake Festival for me was more of a time to look at nature around me and enjoy it just at it was. Looking at the moon made me... Calm? Even with all the busy stuff around it just reminded me of God's presence and his guidance. Nothing else mattered besides that. Its quite amazing the way a chinese festival can remind you of your own belief.
It was a wonderful night, can't deny that. Sitting at the patio and later on my bed looking at the moon was pretty awesome.
