Well happy 端午节 to all the Chinese here…. For those of you wondering what that is, you can look up ‘Dragon Boat Festival‘ on Wikipedia. That will give a nice and clear description of what it is, and you will see that Dragon Boats are just part of the story.

It was not my girlfriend who triggered this, it was a colleague of mine who suddenly dropped by with zong zi (that’s what the Chinese in the title of this posts means) today. It is a kind of Chinese dumpling usually eaten at this particular festival. We’ve eaten them with a little suger and maple sirup added to them…. Yummy.
