This is no exception. What to do for this contest? Of course, eating dumpling! Sorry, I have not every dumpling home so you can eat and not eat even had and even for this year at the festival. Anyway, I’m not so interested in eating, just a feeling of wanting to eat, because tried for a year.

As for the Dragon boat, I have not noticed that an event of boat in the vicinity of Dragon is organized around KL dirty rivers in the city is not very suitable for this event. It would be good if me get a chance to see a day today, that you can have a chance is zero! Here in Malaysia, not much the celebration of the festival and only today as always … normal days even to my grandmother not brought us some pies yesterday when we met each other for dinner that it has generally meet every year …
