Moon Cake

The mid-autumn festival is this weekend and everyone is out buying moon cake. I'm not sure exactly what it is but as it approaches the urgency for moon cake escalates. There seems to be a moon cake warehouse down the road from my hotel. There has been a constant stream of people going in and coming back out with a stack of fancy boxes in hand. Today there has been a constant mob of people surrounding the place. People are frantic to get their moon cake. As I walk past I get pushed and shoved by people fighting their way in through the crowd. Should I buy some? I'm not sure. It looks like it could be quite a struggle and I've heared that foreigners tend to not be so keen on it. And, moon cake isn't cheap. Well sometimes it is, but you can pay hundreds of dollars (not RMB) for a box of moon cake. I just want a little taste.
