8th Month in chinese Lunar Calendar


No, its not Merdeka! for the chinese... but it is Lantern Festival!
Oh yeah, its that time of year again, where you take out that old dusty set of lanterns from the past year, illuminate them, and watch them glow mezmorisingly under the beautiful full moon of this festival... while the rest of your family finish of the delicious mooncakes that were on your plate!
Well, as we all know its Visit Malaysia Year 2007, and of course there's something special installed for us. There'll be a Mid-Autumn Festival Celebration (another name for Lantern Festival), commemorated with lantern parades and lantern-making competitions at Pasar Seni (Central Market), Kuala Lumpur.
If you wish to join in the fun, its on now till the 25th of september. You can find out more events happening this month on the Tourism Malaysia website at http://travel.tourism.gov.my/consumer/events/default.asp
