Cultural Note for "The Story of China and Teensy Japan"

[droopingwillow.livejournal.com]

I just made a correction to the translation. In the strip where China is backstabbed by Japan, he calls Japan to come in and eat because he's just finished making some rice dumplings.

I came across this by accident. This is a famous song about rice dumplings in Chinese Min-nan dialect by Teresa Teng.

P.S. No political debate pls. I simply like to eat zongzi.

Has your family ever made zongzhi at home? It's a lot of work....

Once when I was a kid, and they were *so good*. I'm going to buy some tomorrow at the 99.

粽子... *drool* But what I really, really miss is the tang yuan. I haven't had that in ages. Thanks a lot for the info and the song! =D

When I was younger, I used to make tangyuan by hand every year with my grandma and eat them.

[il-mare-luccica.livejournal.com]

Haha. When I was young, I used to do that too. XD It's so hard to get it now that we're in Canada, though. >_

Which city are you in? There seems to be a lot of Chinese Canadian APH fans.

Maybe I should move to Canada too XD

Did you see the strip where Korea and China are always in Canada's house ???

[il-mare-luccica.livejournal.com]

I'm in Calgary, Alberta. @_@ Nothing much goes on here. Personally, if you want to move, I say DO IT!! There aren't enough APH fans here. XD I haven't found a single one, so I have to make do with trying to convert my friends. =P

YES, I SAW THAT STRIP. It's too true. XD The first time I went to Vancouver, I was so surprised by how many Asians there were since I just thought that it would be mostly white.

So which Canadian cities are taken over by Chinese? (joking) LOL

Also, are they from Mainland, Taiwan, HK or???

I'm not sure which is better, being the only Asian around or having way too many Chinese immigrants running around.

[il-mare-luccica.livejournal.com]

LOL I haven't really been to many parts of Canada, but I know Vancouver has a lot and the take over of Calgary is just beginning. >3 Most of the people are from Hong Kong and Mainland. Not that many from Taiwan, I don't think.

Being the only Asian around isn't really fun, but then again, having too many of them makes you feel stupid sometimes because most of us seem to ace our classes. XD

[droopingwillow.livejournal.com]

Oh, by the way, I'm not Hokkien or Taiwanese. I understand some of it though.

... Damnit, now I'm craving zhongzi and tangyuan at the same time. )8
