smuggle back some mooncakes, you'd make a fortune selling them on the black market here
LOLOL and they're preparing for 中秋节 when I'm there XD
I think I might just eat some there and take in the culture and the smell of proper Chinese mooncakes in China >.<

Hmm... tempting offer.. do you want your mooncakes looking like mooncakes or do you want your mooncakes in regurgitated form because I think that's how I'll smuggle them in... unless you pay more ;)

Edit: 200 post

Edit 2: Mooncakes are basically pastries that normally contain red bean or lotus paste with yolks from eggs. It can also contain nuts but they taste DELICIOUS :3
They're also are pretty historical too and the Chinese letters you see at the top used to be a hidden message during some dynasty that I can't remember.. :/
