Part 3. International Festivals
First, we arrived in China. There we had a presentation during the Dragon Boat
Festival. It was amazing! People were eating a lot of rice dumplings. They were
racing dragon boats, hanging icons of a mythic guardian Fgure called Zhong Kui
and they were wearing perfumed medicine bags. Then, we heard that all of these
activities were supposed to promote good health and well-being of the people in
the community.
After, we saw some boats. What I liked the most was the dragon boat we had
the opportunity to race. It had the front end shaped like open-mouthed dragon,
decorated with bright designs. We were only two days in China because we had
to y to Ghana.
Later on, in the north of Ghana we were
present during one of the most traditional
festivals in a city called Tamale. It was
the Takai festival.
We saw plenty of men gathered around
with drums and dances. The dancers
were dressed with a traditional clothes
called smock.
