I am delighted to have Amy Wang join me to talk about the Chinese Mid Autumn Festival. Ms. Wang is a teacher in China and she shares stories about this important Chinese festival with us. Many people think the Mid Autumn Festival is similar to Thanksgiving. What do you think? Come and explore the world culture with us.
There are two parts in this interview. The first part is in English. The second part with the same questions (at 10:30) is in Mandarin.
