chinese festivals

晚上好朋友!
lol im learning chinese! that says "Good evening friends!" i've been learning chinese for about a year now. im getting pretty good at it. i've written a letter to my friend Xiaolong all in chinese characters (though i wouldnt be able to do it again because i havent practiced in a while) haha. maybe someday i'll show you the letter but right now im to tired to scan it.
this is xiaolong













he's going to some festivals soon, one is 中秋 which would be read as Zhongqiu. Its a festival that the chinese have during the mid autumn. not sure what they do there he didnt tell me, im hoping to have him explain it next time he emails me.
the second festival is 国庆 or National day. Im assuming its got the same idea as 4th of July here. but im not sure how they celebrate it. again i'll have him explain it.
for the festivals he's going from shenyang which is where he lives to Taiyuan which is 13 hours and 44 minutes away. then he's going to Datong which is 11 hours and 32 minutes from his house. holey moley i'd hate to be him! i hate being in the car! lol well he said he'd take pictures and he always takes good pictures so im looking forward to seeing them! 
have fun xiaolong!!
