Dragon Boat Festival

Every year on May 5th in the Lunar Calewndar will be a Dragon Boat Festival. It is the biggest National Holiday here in Taiwan. Schools and other government assotiations won't be working on this day. People often will go to see the race of the boat. The tradition food for this day is a sticky rice wrapped in the green leaves of bamboo.

It has beans, penuts, meat and egg inside. Sometimes, it will have shrimps, too. It depends what do you like and you can wrape with ingredients you like. What it is inside, it depends on each family tradition, too.
