        Re: Dragon Boat Races

        wondering why these are here in the US

        here in china.
        Dragon Boat Racing is the most popular activity of Dragon Boat Festival, and you can see Dragon Boat Racing in Hog Kong, Hangzhou and other Chinese cities.

          Likely because Chinese people immigrated to the US and brought a piece of tradition with them? IDK I'm not an expert. I just like watching.

              I always thought it would be awesome to get involved in this. There is a team here in Adelaide and a co-worker of mine does this with her partner.

                Dragon boat racing actually originated in China, though I think we can all appreciate how it might seem to be a Northern European thing!

                  In Bath, Michigan, there is an annual bathtub race, and here in Alpena, we have a rubber ducky race on the Thunder Bay River. Does anybody know where the roots of these races are?
                  Every moment of a life is a horrible tragedy, a slapstick comedy, dark nihilism, golden illumination, or nothing at all; depending on how we write the story we tell ourselves.
