i know what dragon boast festival is coz we have chinese people living here in our country. we even have our own china town. anyway, even though i know what a dragon festival is, i don't celebrate it. i don't eat anything special as well. it's just that i have my own beliefs & i follow my own traditions. ;)

Sure, as I am also a Chinese. Unfortunately although it's a traditional festival, but we don't have a day off. So we don't have a special celebration. In Guangzhou, we can eat Zongzi all the time. So it doesn't make a difference to me.

The same to you, we are not off, that day , we work all day long, In Jiangsu , we can also eat ZONGZI all the time , but i think only on that day , it is best delicious!

when I was a child,I like to have the Dragon Boat Day.Mum made delicious ZongZi and salt eggs herself.And we eat fresh peaches that day,so sweet.But now,the atmosphere of traditional festivals have all been weakened.although it seems not so important to have the Dragon Boat Festival now,I miss my mother's ZongZi in my childhood.
