Fall festival season in 麻豆传媒映画is decidedly less obnoxious than its summertime brethren.
The West End isn鈥檛 used as a communal toilet during the fireworks and Kits Beach is devoid of hundreds of yogis entering next-level karmic bliss while wearing $800 outfits.
It truly is a beautiful time to be alive.
