I thought 15th of 8th month is festival for lanterns (Zhong Qiu Jie). I had never heard that 15th of 1st month is lantern festival. Even it is, at least in Singapore, we don't celebrate it.
Cntomcom: you have to understand that not all Chinese over the world share the same festivals. For example, Singaporean Chinese celebrate the 7th day of the Chinese new year which Chinese in other regions, don't do. Some Chinese of other dialect also celebrate on the 8th day. Some Chinese who are Taoists, celebrate the Birthday of some god which falls on the 9th of 1st month. But we don't celebrate the last day of Chinese New Year which is the 15th day.
Isn't that day Yuan Xiao Jie?:confused:

Zhong Qiu Jie is when the adults admire the full moon while eating the mooncakes(Yue Bing) and the kids are carrying their lanterns. At least in Singapore it is.:p :D

I used to have one in aol, but I stopped using it long time ago, uhm if you have something to tell me, send me an email, I think I have time much enough to answer my friend's mail:)
May i ask you a question ?
A couple of days ago, I went to have meal with some of my friends in a small Chinese restaurant, I ordered a kind of yellow noodle which I now forget its name. It was spicy, hot, served with some slices of pork, bean sprout and a little kimchee on the top. This kind of food is also existed in Japan, I guess, as my father once went there on business but he now also didnot remember the name.
Do you know what it is called?

Since our country is so large that even I couldn't tell all foods in

Perhaps it's just a kind of noodle.
There are so many kinds of noodles in China or we just call it noodle or xxx noodle. (xxx equals what is mixed with noodle, such
as pork as you said.)
My English is not very well.:)

One day in a japanese magazine there was a photograph about a little ramen restaurant. There was nobody in the restaurant and the owners, (chinesse) look like angry.
These men did not learnt very well japanese because when they wrote the restaurant's title they put "samen"@instead of "ramen". "samen" in japanese is semen. There was a foot note at the bottom of the photograph saying something like "Now we know why these people are always angry. How can anybody enter the restaurant with such a title?"
:p
