I just found this website.
GO TO CHINA
There are some great photos and basic information on there, check it out!
I stumbled across this site some time ago but couldn't get it to work properly because I was on an (oldish) Mac but now that I have a brand spanking new Mac computer it works! (have to turn the Java preferences console on though). It's loads of fun.
Here are (supposedly) the most commonly used words on my blog. Who would have thought I used the word 'save' that many times? Weird!
It's that time of year!
If you want to read more about this festival check out Wikipedia. The Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month which, this year, is September 14th.
I LOVE mooncakes! I love the creamy lotus filling, I like them with or without egg yolks (although growing up I was always reminded if we tried to bring in anything with egg yolks through customs they would be confiscated... but stores still sold egg yolk ones), hate the nut ones, and well... I just savour them (since they are pretty expensive for their size!) but sometimes I'm just greedy and eat a whole one in one sitting (guilty pleasure...). Growing up we were reminded time and time again how expensive they were and my mum or dad would cut each one into 8 tiny pieces and it would last us a few days or so, and I'd have to fight my sister for the last piece! I used to keep and collect the pretty metal tin packaging too...
Instead of posting my own photos I decided to find a few I liked on Flickr...

Dressed in a pink striped outfit and hat and wearing white gloves with yellow fingertips, the young woman now known on the Web as the "iPhone Girl" is shown smiling and making victory signs as she poses next to an iPhone.
The MacRumors.com user who posted the photos last week, identified as only "markm49uk" from Kingston-upon-Hull, England, said in a posting that one of the pictures showed up on a new 3G iPhone when the iTunes program was launched.
"It would appear that someone on the production line was having a bit of fun. Has anyone else found this?" the posting said.
The posting received more than 360 responses on MacRumors.com, with readers commenting and speculating about the woman's age, looks and working conditions — and whether the pictures had gotten her into trouble with her managers.
"She is so fired," a reader identified as "PredatoryWasp86" said.
"That's nice that at least they have some fun in the drab of assembling technology," another reader, "BrownManUPS," said.
"She looks about 12 or 13 to me! I don't think Stevo is going to be impressed at all. It looks a little bit too much like child labor," "sibruk" wrote, referring to Apple Inc. Chief Executive Steve Jobs.
News reports say the woman may work at a factory run by an Apple contractor, Taiwan-based Foxconn Technology Group, in the southern Chinese boomtown of Shenzhen.
Calls to Foxconn spokesman Edmund Ding went unanswered Wednesday. Ding also didn't immediately respond to an e-mail from The Associated Press seeking comment.
But the South China Morning Post on Wednesday quoted another Foxconn spokesman, Liu Kun, as confirming that the young woman in the pictures works for Foxconn.
