Mid autumn festival here in Taiwan has a tradition of BBQ and fireworks.
Of course, there are mooncakes and pomelos also.
We went to a local beach park where there is a night market, as well as many fireworks vendors.
Rebecca and Frankie are shooting Roman candles off the beach, lots of fun....
The night market is full of food vendors, and some are quite good. Here I am eating an oyster pancake while some guy is singing his heart out in an open karaoke. You've got to have balls singing in front of hundreds of total strangers......The temperature is perfect, in the mid 20s in the evening and high 20s during the day. It should stay this way until Dec and Jan when temperature can drop to the mid teens, and that is considered cold here.
Here is Rebecca enjoying some local fried squid....
Fireworks here are a lot cheaper than Canada, well, what else is new.......we bought 12 Roman candles, 3 spinners, a big bag of giant sparklers, all for $16 Cdn. In Victoria during Halloween, that would cost about $100. Anyways, we took home some leftovers and fired them off our roof top. Rebecca was deeply worried because there is a military compound across from us, and wondered if they would fire back at us. War games, anyone?
