MAKING AN EGG STAND ON DUAN WU JIE 端午节

Happy Duan Wu Jie aka Dumpling Festival to all those who celebrate. Duan Wu Jie is celebrated by Chinese worldwide on the 5th day of the 5th month of lunar calendar. It is a yearly event and during this day, the Chinese will commonly feast on dumplings (zong si). 

Besides eating dumplings and dragon boat races, another activity during this festival is to make eggs stand on their tips at noon. Here I am with the one egg that I made stand three times. First two times, a furry creature knocked it down with its nose. Only after the little rascal was sent back to his Cat Condo, did the egg stand in peace. It is 3.40 p.m. now and it is still standing.
