For Dragon Boat Festival we tried traditional Chinese zongzi from our giftbox our work gave us! While we teach English during the week, we use our holidays and weekends to explore the different wonders of China. Once the borders open, we'll continue our adventures exploring the rest of the world. Until then, let's explore China together.
