We cheated. These aren't the real finished products. These were bought from the store around the corner. Compare how much better these look than the ones we made (in the rice cooker).
About a couple of weeks ago, two reporters from the TieLing TV Station came to my house to interview me on what I think about Duan Wu Jie. Duan what?! Google, once again, I thank you.
Duan Wu Jie, as it turned out, is celebrated in honor of a poet who threw himself into the river when his beloved state was occupied by a more powerful state. This was back in the time when China was not yet a unified country. It was said that people threw zongzi and other food into the river so the fish wouldn't eat the poet's body. Now we eat the zongzi, much like the fish of long ago :p.
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to watch my big TV appearance because I had English corner the night it was shown. I'm still under the process of twisting arms and legs to get myself a copy of it (The TV station is asking for 100rmb for the edited copy! 你有病吗?) Hopefully, I'll be able to get myself a copy without having to pay that much although I'm a little doubtful. And then maybe I can upload it to my videos! :D
You're a STAR.
ReplyDeleteHahahaha! Yep, I am indeed.
ReplyDeletebongga!
ReplyDeleteThe other day, I was buying breakfast from a food vendor whom I already bought from once before. She excitedly asked me if I was the one on TV about a week ago. I said, yes. She said when she saw me she immediately thought I was that foreigner who bought a pie from her and then the voice-over said from the Philippines and she thought, "It's her!" She was blabbering and I think it was so cute and funny.
ReplyDeleteawww, how sweet.
ReplyDeleteNow that you mention it, they can really be unbearably sweet at times.
ReplyDeletehahahhaa that is cute and funny! ^_^ maybe the next tym u buy from her u could ask for a discount heheheheh :P
ReplyDeleteWhere is the Video then finally?? :)
ReplyDeleteI still haven't pulled my headmaster's arms hard enough. I have another video that I'm thinking of uploading although the file might be a little too big. It's 23 minutes long. Do you think Multiply can handle that?
ReplyDeleteI guess so, try to upload and if it failes you will know it does not work. Or break the file into two to three sections.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah! I can edit it using Windows Movie Maker now! That'll be my next project.
