1. Mind explaining what that is to someone who has never heard of it?

It's looks like they are having a fun time. I mean I know a few Japanese words, a few of the J-Pop bands that did intro/ending songs for some of the anime, and maybe a few other misc things but that is as far as my knowledge of Asian culture goes right now. I'm mainly here to learn new things and to give this group a bit more activity.

2. Celebrated by China, Taiwan and Vietnam.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is a harvest festival celebrated by ethnic Chinese and Vietnamese people. The festival is held on the 15th day of the eighth month in the Chinese Han calendar and Vietnamese calendar (within 15 days of the autumnal equinox), on the night of the full moon between early September to early October of the Gregorian calendar.

Mainland China listed the festival as an "intangible cultural heritage" in 2006 and a public holiday in 2008. It is also a public holiday in Taiwan. Among the Vietnamese, it is considered the second-most important holiday tradition.
