Yesterday is Dragon Boat Festival which as a traditional festival in China is over 2300 years. It's a special data to commemorate the patriotic poet in ancient whose name is Qu Yuan. With several years development, this festival evolved out a bit of activities, such as eating rice dumpling, boating and hanging something that can bless peace in the front of chest.
My friend Catherina invited me to her home to celebrate together. Therefore, I finished everything quickly after I waked up. I was so excited that beyond my mind. Maybe it's the first Chinese festival I through since I went to Vancouver. Also , I know Catherina's mother have perfect cooking, I love it so much totally. That's the reason I excited too. And about half an hour's drive I got to the goal. I saw so many Chinese foods while I came into her home. And aunt gave a smile to me, then focus on her cooking at the same time talking with Catherine and me. At the time I felt a sense of home, especially in the abroad alone. And we made the rice dumplings by ourselves. That's so embarrassed but interested for me because I always fail. I hate cooking. In the fact, it's hateful. As for me at least.
Time flies if you don't unaware. The unforgettable dinner finished with laughing and talking. And I made a appointment with Catherina go to my home next festival if my parents come to Canada. Finally, I went home when the darkness come and fast asleep. That might be a sequela of eat so full.
Such a great time!!

Actually, we have a lot of traditional festival. Such as Mid-August festival, Spring Festival, and QingMing Festival(the holiday form is similar with Japanese festival--the Ullabana, we go to worship our ancestors).If you have interested with Chinese festival, I can give you more and more.
