月餅

When the Moon is Full All Mankind is One

Five nut mooncake no egg.  AA's favorite.  

Mooncake courtesy of one of AA's new colleagues and shipped along with two others at considerable expense. 

The other two sent are not pictured as they disappeared rather quickly after the package was opened.

Both AA and Ms. AA pronounced them better than Hong Kong

If there were any hidden messages, they are lost to history.  We didn't stop to look.

When the moon is full, mankind is one.

It's that time of year again.  Though for some of us it seems more like mid Summer than mid Autumn.

Note to the authorities:  AA's mooncakes have no hidden messages.

It's a Happy Eid Indeed

A special celebration at Suq Al Mal today.

Our coffee and tea shop is now open again during the day.

The location in the picture above a very very happy memory though sadly gone today like the "bust" of the founder.

عيد مبارك

عيد المولد النبوي الشريف

恭喜发财 -- 恭喜發財

 

恭喜发财

恭喜發財

I've hung the Arqala Family "Fu" on our front door and re arranged various other auspicious signs, so let me wish all of you a Prosperous New Year.

Kung Hei Fat Choi!

Or, if you prefer,  Gong Xi Fa Cai!

While 紅包 are most appropriately given to children and unmarried adults, I believe I qualify on the former as Umm Arqala has on more than one occasion told me to grow up.

Merry Christmas
