The Lunar Festival was more than I could have ever imagined! I admire the Orient's respect and preservation toward it's heritage. I am in awe of the sophistication and grace practiced to honored traditions and toward every day living. You have my highest admiration for your artistic endeavor's as demonstrated by the elegance of your homes, gardens and literary achievments to name but a few.

Many thanks to all who have made this experience possible. Your cleverness in presentation was astonishing! As a new member of AW, this festival has taught me navigational skills that may have otherwise taken many months to learn. These new skills will most certainly benefit me in my much anticipated return visits.

I leave back to Hellas hoping that I have made lasting friendships that I can converse with in the future.

In much appreciation,
