Nihao! It has come to my attention that this year, or rather, in the year of 2012, the date for the Dragon Boat Festival is June twenty-third.

Activities for the Dragon Boat Festival include eating zongzi, drinking realgar wine, and racing dragon boats. There is also a game where one tries to make an egg stand at exactly noon, and if you succeed you will have luck for the next year.

I would like to bring this traditional Chinese holiday to Fortuna, especially the boat races if it is safe to go rowing on the lake, aru. Then of course I will prepare plenty of zongzi for others to eat.

That's what we call cultural differences.

Haha, got it. Over where I'm from we just have tea all the time, but there's a lot of kids from other countries at my school, so I guess I see some foreign stuff sometimes!

Do you come from the United Kingdom?

Yes, quite a number of students from my country travel to Western countries to study. Then of course many of my people visit as tourists in the Western world.

[dewebbed]

Yeah! Plain old Englandshire, haha.

There's probably a bunch of Chinese kids at my school, yeah. But we've got kids from everywhere. A lot of the teachers aren't from England, too.

I've noticed. It has a population as diverse as America's.

[dewebbed]

Yeah, pretty much. My school's super big on it, though. Just another weird thing there, haha!

You usually don't get such things as much in Asia, unless it's tourist season.

voice.

[dewebbed]

Really? That's kinda weird. It seems like it'd be a pretty interesting place to stay!

voice.

[gochuugoku]

Of course it is~! Asia is such a beautiful continent with such a long history and culture, aru! There are plenty of tourist attractions in every Asian country, good food too.

Come to think of it... India's food is also very delicious. [He may not be part of East Asia, but he's still part of Asia!]

[dewebbed]

Jeez, you're gonna make me hungry.

[gochuugoku]

[He laughs.]

There will be plenty of Chinese food at the festival, so it will not be too long before then.

voice.

[dewebbed]

Aw, yeah, right! Just another reason we should set it up, huh?

voice.

[gochuugoku]

Of course! As I said to someone else earlier, food is one of the pillars of pleasure.
