So on Tuesday I went to the UCLA (United Chinese Language Association I think) club meeting. In that meeting we learned about the Mid Autumn Festival or Moon Festival in China. I went with my friend Jeff and we got to learn about the folk lore behind the holiday and celebration. It was also really interesting to learn about the things that Chinese people did during the Moon Festival. Apparently they eat moon cakes and play games where the adults give the children riddles and whoever solves a riddle would get a prize. So after the presentation they gave us riddles and it was pretty cool since everyone was ACTUALLY participating. There was this one guy who already knew half the riddles so he just shouted the answer before the riddle was even asked. After that we had a lantern making contest and the winner was to be given a prize. I tried to submit my lantern to the contest but I took too long (lol). I got to meet Sandy, Alexandra, and Kelly from UCLA. They were really chill and they were so welcoming. I was glad that I got to go to the club because it was pretty interesting and I got to meet new people.
(Btw that’s Jeff in the white shirt, great guy and that was my first lantern I scrapped it and made a better one.) :)))))))))
