Overheard conversation between my husband and mother in law in mandarin:
Q: "When is the mid-autum festival?"
A: "8th month, 15th day".
Q: "When exactly is that?"
A: "Just look it up on internet!"
Here I was confused because in my mind, it sounds like the mid-autum festival is August 15 (today) but turns out they talk in Lunar calendar 😵💫
In the Chinese language the months are not named ( no December, January, etc) so it's always never clear to me which calendar are they talking about 😓
