the citizens of this country are celebrating the moon festival and there are plenty of fancy moon cakes to be had.
this country is the world's most populous, with a population of over 1.35 billion as at 2010. chances are if you look around in your household, you would find something that had been manufactured in this country.
thank you for your kind views and comments; know that they are truly appreciated.
china of course... love the selective color in this shot.. no clue what a moon cake is... here in the south we have moon pies.. and I think they are gross!
@summerfield A moon pie or MoonPie[1] is a pastry which consists of two round graham cracker cookies, with marshmallow filling in the center, dipped in a flavored coating. The traditional pie is about four inches (100 mm) in diameter. A smaller version exists (mini MoonPie) that is about half the size, and a Double-Decker MoonPie of the traditional diameter features a third cookie and attendant layer of marshmallow. The four main flavors are chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, and banana. Double Decker MoonPies also come in lemon and orange; MoonPie Crunch comes only in peanut butter or mint. The snack is often associated with the cuisine of the American South where they are traditionally accompanied by an RC Cola.
A lovely looking Chinese lantern. Have always like the paper lampshades but have never owned one.
I'm now off to investigate what a moon cake is. The moon pies sound dreadfully sweet!
seems like everything these days are made in china. dishes, platics or otherwise, furniture, food, electronics, shoes, cameras, brassieres :-) although, get this, my spare nikon battery was made elsewhere and not in china! gasp!
