British Museum's Moon Festival

This thursday I get to go and see the Terracotta Warriors for free with librarians! Horray!

I will be returning in the evening with Bill for their China late for the Moon festival, activities include Mahjong, papercuts, calligraphy, Mandarin, there will also be tea and moon cakes and (because no mid-autumn festival would be complete without it?????) the very traditional "burlesque fan dance". Not that I'm complaining mind you. ;)

Let me know if you'd like to join us.
