I have no idea what is actually done to celebrate this holiday in this part of the country, despite a trip to the school library* to read up on the origin and its somewhat interesting story. It sounds like it should be really fun and involve some sort of fire-breathing watercraft that may or may not have scales and also fly. Intrigued as I am by this, I am celebrating Dragon Boat Festival by NOT WORKING.
Yay, China, for this random holiday.
*To be fair, this was in fact a kindergarten school library, and the fact that there were actually resources that described the holiday in even this much detail is distinctly impressive. This is the school where I will be teaching preschool next year. Several points have been awarded in this post. Go team.
