Happy mid-autumn festival!

This is a special day for all Chinese people. It's mid-autumn festival,a ancient and traditional festival, according to tradition people should be at home reuniting with big family.It means family harmony as well.There is a sentence to express a wish which people want to realize' moon round , people reunion ' .Because the pronounce 'round' is very similar with 'reunion' in Chinese letter.Therefore, moon represent harmony and reunion.

Moon cake is absolutely necessary for mid-autumn festival.Eating moon cakes signifies that life getting happier and sweeter.

Today I strongly feel homesick , I miss my parents my grandmother ,they are still in China,and I know they also miss me especially in such special day.

Water Festival in Burma

The water festival in Burma is in order to celebrate new year. As we know it's the most important festival in Burma, and it 's called Thingyan by Burmese.
Before Water festival Burmese buy a lots foods to prepare for big party.When the festival come nobody mind pump-action water rifles and scoop buckets, these guys know that the only way to satisfactorily soak your target is through using high-pressure hosepipes.Spray water to other people means bring good luck to others.And normally the whether is very hot over 45 degree when the water festival is celebrated.So it's really cool when water make your body wet.The padauk flower ,which appears at this time of year , is closely associated with Water festival. Golden in colour and with a sweet fragrance, the flowers and leaves of the paduak are used to decorate streets and houses and are often worn in the hair.This festival lasts three days. During water festival Burmese wear their troditional dresses enjoying dancing and throwing water each other ,they all looks happy and funny. There is a special food for this festival to celebrate ,it 's called Moant Lone Ye Baw. It is made with stick rice and sugar tasted sweet.I reckon it means good wish for next year.
