Moon Cake and Mid Autumn Festival 2009 - Part 2 of 3

A straight continuation from Part 1.

At the side of the temple is where they display all these lovely lanterns... let's have a look...


A whale...


A Panda..


Some kind of bird...


Another whale...


A lotus...


A shark...


A cow...


Again the lotus...


I think that is a rabbit and the other one is dolphin for sure...



Yeah.. the moon cake... eat all you can... provided for free... sponsored by one of the local chinese restaurant...


Well then, let's have a break and eat some moon cake...



And of coz "Chinese Tea"....


I ate lots of the moon cake... Overall I eat about 2 big pieces of the moon cake... and some 5 cup of tea...


Let's continue with all the lanterns...


Son Goku.... not the from that Dragon Ball but rather the real one from Buddhist/Chinese Legend "Journey To The West" or also known as Saiyuki in Japan... have you watch that anime Gensomaden Saiyuki ?


I don't know who is this....


I think this is a peacock...


Looks like Eiffel Tower...


That's a dragon for sure...


A nice lantern with classic design...



And yes Mr. Bull or Buffalo - the Chinese's mascot for the year of 2009...



A phoenix I think....



Another lantern with classic design...


Some sort of fish species I think...


I guess this is a grasshopper...



A moon...


The actors and actress are getting ready to perform...








Their extra wardrobe...


This guy is taking the opportunity to be included in the photo...



Yeah.. after about 1 hour plus of waiting.. finally the show will start soon...


Luckily I am using this super zoom of Panasonic FZ28.... I can zoom from far far away...


Spotted another local shutterbugs...


Some people taking the opportunity to greet and chit chat with their relatives and friends and the oldies... after all its not everyday they gathered here in like this...


Can you read Chinese?


Luckily I am using this super zoom of Panasonic FZ28.... I don't have to spend extra money to buy extra lenses and equipment to be able to get the long zoom ability... look at this guy with his expensive camera... I can't afford that... must be heavy and challenging to snap a photo with all those extra stuff...


And look at this another big guy... his camera is damn big if compared to mine...


Taking some random photos while waiting for the show...



The musician is in the last minute fine tuning process...


Some boys playing around with the baby...


Cute baby... must be his first moon cake and autumn festival...


Photos of the show will appear in the Part 3.
