So, this weekend is Dragon Boat Festival.
Celebration
The festival is a celebration of the advent of ‘summer’ (we’ve already begun celebrating here with torrential rain).
Out come the Dragon boats, wine and dumplings.
It’s a three day festival.
Maybe there’ll be some rowdy Chinese puking and throwing dumplings everywhere, (just like it was England), or, maybe there won’t.
We’ll see.
Ok I’ve found out some more about the festival. It falls on the 5th Lunar day of the calendar.
Tommorrow.
