1. HOW ARE THE FULL MOON FESTIVAL IN HANOI 2008 Nov Do Van Nguyet, Vietnam

2. 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

3. 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

5. 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!

7. 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…

9. Could we buy all of those pigs? You could not eat all I will not eat them, but to play with my toys. mum. Plsssssss!!!

10. Could we live here? it’s very cool and a big play ground outside. Hello! Is it me you are looking for?

13. Everything is so fun and enjoyable for everyone in the museum, especially the kids.

14. 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
