Full moon in Vietnam is like a big party, a special time for children, with good cakes, gifts and a lot of
games and care
When I was a child, I rarely know how a good full moon festival organized.
Okie, I could have some moon cakes my parents brought home. But all the beautiful lamps, dragon dance, going-outs… existed only in my dream. It’s
our generation time – still so early development

And until I grow up, Vietnam and our children could enjoy some better lives – gifts and care
from families, schools, and communities for the full moon festival
The year 2008 – a difficult year in our “NEW” development process: inflation, fuel prices, prices increase vs. belief decrease, values crisis… We are not sure if our steps will go
forward or backward. And the full moon festival reflects our thinking and options: OLD-NEW;
MODERN-TRADITION

Here are how the elder people enjoy full moon or any festival
Either they sing lovely folk song at whatever age…
Or they listen in some nostalgiafor one old Hanoi or rural village

And I love the way a lot of young people enjoy the festival in the museum, running the events and reminding others to keep peace as volunteers or to enjoy the traditional show nicely
Hey, don’t be shy. Let’s join!

Here are how the young people enjoy the festival
I used to play with when I was small, with many recycle materials. We often picked up the green orange and grapefruit under the trees to play as the small balls…

And it’s sweet scene among the crowd and all movements. I could die to be looked like
this by someone – we not only share the same direction, but sometimes we need sweet moments to
look at the other and feel the presence…

But there is something not for children under
17. Even it is something too bold in my culture.
But it’s what I love about indigenous
people, those who live with free mind and
souls more than anyone of us in the so-called modern society
