From what I know, this is celebrated mostly in Asian countries with strong Chinese influence like Singapore and Vietnam, Mooncakes as the one in the picture is the traditional food that you cannot have without during this occassion. In China, this is an official non-working holiday and gifts of different flavors and colors of mooncakes are given to relatives and friends. There are also dice games where you are entitled to different prizes. Wonder how it is being celebrated even within the Chinese minority.in non-Asian countries？ Are mooncakes even available in your place? Are they being appreciated? HAPPY MID-AUTUMN/MOONCAKE FESTIVAL!!

During Chinese New Year, I saw many Chinese gamble, be they using dices or majiang (in my locality is called mahjong) and so forth. Wan
