At least the storm held off for the Moon Festival fireworks last night. The holiday is also called Mid-Autumn Festival but that seems like a misnomer since it's hardly the middle of autumn. It's celebrated on the full moon towards the end of September/early October and involves barbecuing with your family, eating moon cakes and setting off fireworks. Our next door neighbors entertained us with theirs.

We are anticipating yet another typhoon. This one is named Dujuan, it's currently classified as a category 4 super typhoon and it's heading for northern Taiwan. They got slammed about a month ago with Typhoon Souldelor. Down here in the south we should get a bunch of rain - the forecast is calling for about 5 inches by the end of Tuesday - but we'll probably still have school tomorrow.
