Trung Thu

Today is the mid-autumn festival. The traffic was crazier than usual. Out in the village, however, it was business as usual. Some people are still harvesting, the threshing machines are going full pelt and the streets are increasingly covered with drying sweet-smelling hay. Fires are burning here and there - hay being turned into fertilizer for the fields. For lunch we had special dumplings made from sticky rice with a meat and egg filling.
