After the Moon Festival

There were alot of barbeques, Taipei smelt like a barbeque, the weather was kind enough to give most people a good view of the moon, although one thing was odd, I discovered yesterday that the true full moon was the day after the observed moon festival. This has been explained a couple of times to me in Chinese, but I haven't quite grasped the meaning of these explanations. Oh well, I went out last night and gazed respecfully as well.
