Today marked the mid-autumn festival, celebrating plentiful harvests, gathering of friends and family, and a bit of indulgence in some traditional moon cakes. I was treated to an exceptional barbecue and evening by Prof. River Shen and the rest of the HiSpec lab group! With tons of interesting and delicious foods cooked up fresh, I couldn’t help but end the night stuffed and satisfied! ![IMG_4579[1]](https://oceanevolutioninstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/img_45791.jpg?w=768&h=1024)
And what meal is complete with out some exquisite tea? Prof. Shen spared no expense treating us to some high quality Oolong tea, a variety Taiwan has become particularly famous for!
