  In Taiwan, people celebrate moon festival every year. On the day of this spectacular holiday, family members come back home and get together, BBQ together, eat pommel and moon cakes together, and view the roundest moon of the year together. Today, one day before the actual moon festival, my family and I barbecued for dinner and for the first time of the year, all of us finally had a relaxing time talking to each other. At that moment, I could eventually put all the annoying triviality behind me and purely enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the festival and pleasant intimacy with my family. Even though the same next year I'll not be able to accompany my family that I'll be far away studying, I'll still be looking at the same moon with them and think back a year, when we had so much precious time together.
