Giovana, a Rio de Janeiro teacher, never imagined moonlight poetry readings and sweet pastries would become her new passion. This changed when a Chinese friend invited her to a Mid-Autumn Festival celebration—complete with lanterns, tea ceremonies, and the legend of Chang’e. 🌙
More Than Mooncakes
What started as curiosity became a cultural journey: 'I fell in love with how every detail tells a story,' Giovana says. She’s since learned basic Mandarin and now hosts fusion gatherings blending Brazilian brigadeiros with Chinese tea traditions. 🫖🇧🇷
2023 Mooncake Mission
This year’s goal? Mastering the art of handmade mooncakes. 'I want to surprise my friend with lotus paste fillings and salted egg yolks—it’s like edible gratitude,' she laughs. Her story shows how cultural bridges are built one moonlit party at a time. 🌍💞
