This June 14th is Dragon Boat Festival! Take this opportunity to learn about how the suicide of a great poet and patriot from ancient China evolved into a holiday where people race in colourful dragon-shaped boats, stuff their face with sticky rice thingies wrapped in bamboo leaves, perform rituals to ward off evil spirits, and bathe in hot baths of fragrant medicinal herbs.
The mouseovers are, from left to right:
- The suicide of Qu Yuan, the great poet and patriot from the state of Chu during the Warring States period of ancient China
- Singapore ruining a Zongzi, a sticky rice dish eaten in Chinese-speaking regions on the holiday
- The dance of Zhongkui, a ritual performed in some Chinese-speaking regions to ward off evil spirits
- Korea chilling in a soothing herbal bath

Anyone know why someone does this? Itβs as if done on a schedule.
I once witnessed a man and woman driving slowly down a nearby street just calmly shooting fireworks - man was driving and woman was holding fireworks as they shot out the passenger window. Then they just calmly drove off. It looked very calculated.
Iβll update this every time I hear/see it

Edit:
This has been going on for about a year
Itβs almost 3:00am and helicopters have been circling overhead for awhile now. Flatmate was driving home around midnight and saw tons of guards out along the canal looking like they were on a manhunt. Whatβs going on?!?
