Happy Lantern Festival

It was the full-moon yesterday and while the adults were busy wolfing (not really) down mooncakes, the children were walking around with their lanterns, trying (not) to set fire to themselves and the rest of the kids.

We walked around the condo grounds and saw many others also walking around with their own contraptions. Some of them were attempting to burn the clubhouse down - which is rather dangerous given that most of the firemen would have also been walking around with their own children.

It was a full moon though - so the Chinese astronomers must have been pretty accurate.
