Mid Autumn Festival

Yay I love Mid Autumn Festival and moon cakes! This is a traditional Chinese festival in Autumn when the moon is at its fullest (usually mid Aug to mid Sept). It is customary to eat moon cakes at this time - we tried
out these Taiwanese moon cakes this year (they have pineapple and sour berry flavoured filling instead of the more traditional bean paste filling). They are pretty and delicious! There are many Chinese myths and customs surrounding the moon, so I made an explanatory doodle to help explain ^_^

The most expensive beer in SA...

What's that, R18? Ok, I graciously hand over a R50 and smile - No, R80! EIGHT ZERO! Oh my soul....ok, it was for 2 beers, but still, R40 a beer?! But I love this beer so much (just had the good fortune to have other people pay for me up until now...) Eek! So of course we had to take the bottles as mementos, and now they are also the most expensive bottles I own....I shall squeeze every last drop of use out of them to make up! I found out last night that they are sold at a bottle store for like R18 each by where Stuart (My roomie Tarryn's bf) works - curses! But now I can look forward to comming home to a 6 pack of these babies :)
