So you get to learn about a traditional Chinese holiday! Lucky you!
As far as Matt and I are concerned, Dragon Boat Festival (or 端午节, duan1 wu3 jie2) is not one of the more enjoyable Chinese holidays, mainly because of the snack that is commonly eaten for Dragon Boat Festival and that our students are fond of giving us around the time of the festival. Zongzi:
So far we've managed to stay zongzi-free the whole day, but we're going to a birthday dinner tonight for one of our Chinese friends, so we'll see if we can keep the zongzi away throughout dinner too...
