One moon, many neighbours
Singapore keeps the Mid-Autumn Festival as a public, shared, slightly crowded thing, and that is what these pages are about. Lanterns go up in Chinatown and across the gardens, families eat mooncakes at the void deck downstairs rather than indoors, and the whole block ends up under the same moon whether or not it is their festival. The set includes a dragon playground, a bumboat on the river and a lake at the quiet end of the evening.
The rest of it is the part a child in any country will recognise: new neighbours, an extra mooncake for whoever turned up, a grandparent on a video call because the moon is the same one either way.
