Today is the mid-autumn festival
Mood:
celebratory
Topic: Play Hard
Today is the Chinese mid-autumn festival. It is when the Chinese family will
re-unite, gather to eat moon-cakes, light lanterns and enjoy the moon. As I
just returned from Waterton yesterday, I am a little too tired to make a new
lantern for the mid-autume festival. Nevertheless, I have the "duck' lantern
and the hawk lantern I made earilier this September.

Greyhound promotion
Topic: Truenorth
I found a unbelievable, but reasonable bargain from greyhound. If you buy a
14-day advance, return ticket from vancouver, bc to Calgary, AB it cost only
CAN$ 112. In comparsion, if you buy the 14-day advance, return ticket from
vancouver, bc to Banff, AB instead, it cose CAN$223, despite Banff is much
closer to Vancouver.
