Dragon boat festival!!!

          Every year for Dragon boat festival, my granny would make zhung zi. Inside the zhung zi, we have rice, beans and marinated pork. We use leaves of one kind of plant to make zhung zi. I don't know how to make zhung zi because we have to make it ito diamond shape and it's not easy to make. My granny makes it every year and it is really tasty. This year not only I, but all the people at home will miss my granny's hand made zhung zi because she is sick and is in bed and could not move her body. So, this year my mom is making zhung zi for everyone at home. It will taste the same but it won't look the same like that made by my granny. On Wednesday I got to have a taste of Taiwan's zhung zi and I don't like it much because it is not that tasty and it doesn't contain beans. Those beans are available only in India and in some foreign country. I've heard that it’s available in Taipei but it is very costly compare to the price sold in India. I can eat nice and tasty zhung zi only when I am in India. I don't know how long I will be missing it, but I can control myself.
