Asian Celebration

Once a year, Asians around Sydney come together and rejoice the moon at its fullest. The gangster-wannabe kiddies all cream each other, the adults all haggle with pride, because everyone else is doing it. And people like us?

Well, we walk up and down John St looking for Van, then we stalk people by stumbling through the dark looking for their houses to realise that they are even more stalkerish than we are,when we find them on a swing alone in a dark spooky park, and we also get our tofu stolen when we hurriedly abandon the tofu to watch the fireworks. But I'll shut up now and let the pictures do the talking:

The True Pigs We Are: (Sophie managed to take spectacular shots of us stuffing our faces with cotton candy)

During our quest to look for Van, we came across the Sandmen and their giant sand/mud sculpture. Helen (who we adopted for the night), suggested that we threw a stick at the sculpture and let it topple over.

As Jenny had earlier predicted, due to our group's vegetarian-domination, the rest of the meat-eaters would have to follow along and eat non-meaty things as well. This proved true last night when everyone ended up eating fish-buns from Breadtop and this fried tofu thing from a vegetarian booth:

A few minutes into eating the tofu, we heard the fireworks bang and everyone stood up and started running to the streets when we all suddenly stopped and contemplated whether or not to abandon the tofu. But we all reached a mutual agreement: that the tofu would be alright on it's own, and continued our mad dash to view the fireworks.

We ended up right under the fireworks, we had to crane our necks at the greatest angles. I'm sure everyone woke up this morning with a sore neck.

The streets were packed:

The streets immediately emptied as soon as the fireworks ended, so we returned to our tofu to find it gone! , so we all decided to call it a night. Not without group pictures of course

Jenny and I started making our way to our parents, and I decided that Jenny looked like some super agent and all, and hence, the following pictures were taken:

Did you go moon fest, and if you did, what did you do?
