MOONopoly

When I last left off blogging it was around Mid-Autumn Day, so I suppose it's time to tell you about Mid-Autumn Night, which is really the important part, it being a lunar festival. Unfortunately we couldn't see the moon through the smog and clouds, so instead we stayed indoors and enjoyed the moon via Moonopoly, a game that is almost identical to Monopoly: Here & Now, with the notable addition of post-it note moons (thats the Chinese character for woman and a rabbit on the moon; go read the wikipedia article on Mid-Autumn Day if you want to know why).
(Monopoly: Here & Now is almost identical to Monopoly, except that you can be french fries or a labradoodle instead of a hat or some standard dog breed, and you can purchase such fine properties as Red Rocks [for all you CO folks] and the White House, only the 3rd most valuable property on the board.)

We also tried to enjoy mooncakes, though with the boxes of mooncakes we were given there was about a 1 in 4 shot that it would be delicious and a 75% chance of me making that face I was making in the picture I posted with my haircut. I can understand now how my students got sick of them so quickly. I still have 3 mooncakes left, so some of you might get lucky enough to have the mooncake experience.
