Mid-Autumn Festival Part Deux
Many Beijingers had the day off on Monday for the Mid-Autumn Festival. In addition to eating dozens of moon cakes, Muir and I noticed that the holiday was observed in several other peculiar ways: our favorite juice bar switched its bubble tea from iced to hot, Muir's office turned off their air-conditioning, and all the local real estate agents added blazers to their uniforms. It was such a funny monolithic shift. Of course it comes as no surprise considering that China is also the largest country with only one time zone. It just seems like such a quintessentially Chinese thing to do. Anyway, happy Mid-Autumn Festival. Don't forget to wear your jacket.
