Mid-Autumn Festival

Mid-Autumn Festival is a traditional Festival in China. It is on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month. It said that in the mid-autumn day you can see a beautiful girl in the moon(We called she as Change)and a little rabbit. In fact, it's a myth. Nowadays; people celebrate the day by eating moon cakes. It's a kind of cake with many kinds of food in the cake like meat, bean, beef, strawberry, sauce and so on. On that day, most families have a dinner together.
In my family my mother always cooks duck, green soy bean and taro for the dinner. And we usually drink sweet-scented osmanthus wine or sweet-scented osmanthus tea with dinner.

ABOUT BUNDEENA


Bundeena takes its name from Aboriginal word meaning “noise like thunder”. It is one part of Royal National Park, opposite the suburbs of Cronulla and Burraneer. People can take ferry Cronulla or drive through the Royal National Park to get there.
The original inhabitants of Bundeena were Dharawall people, who lived there up to 10,000 years ago.
Jibbon Beach is one of the beautiful beaches in Bundeena. It is an archetypal Aussie Beach.
There is a fascinating Aboriginal rock platform near Jibbon Beach. The large sandstone outcrop with carving is partially hidden by scrub, some 700 metres from the eastern end of Jibbon Beach. They depict whales, stingrays, turtles and kangaroos.

Dudou -- bellyband

Marion and we window-shopped at Cronulla on last Thursday afternoon. We saw an evening dress with the bellyband. I like this kind of design very much.
Before bra come into China, Chinese women and kids have been wearing this traditional underwear called ‘dudou’ or bellyband, which literally means "belly cover." Traditional dudous were mostly made of silk yarn or crepe edged with brocade. Young women would use bright-coloured brocade of red, pink or green. They would also embroider flowers, butterflies or mandarin ducks which symbolize love on the front of dudous.
Now it is fashionable.
