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 cloth called smock. They were gathered in large
circles where some of them were playing the drums. Some other members of
the African group were dancing holding a metal wand in their hand. After a while,
when the dancers turned towards each other, they touched each other’s wand
creating a big sound.
It was a colorful and vibrant part of the Ghanaian culture.
From Ghana, we traveled to the Netherlands. This festival was a bit different but
awesome. We didn’t have to dance; the only thing we had to do was to admire…
Our words could not describe the beauty we were observing.
It was a fabulous
tulip spring garden. There were many people from different parts of the
world walking, cycling, and enjoying the tulip garden shows, mosaic
pathways and photography competitions.
