I couldn't decide which one I liked better: "Execution in Progress" or "Fragrant and Hot Marxism." What do you guys think?

 

Note: chinaSMACK is a website that translates posts from Chinese blogs and websites into English. It's a way for non-Chinese speakers to keep up with the internet buzz. The first set of comments were from the original Chinese post and so are also translated from what Chinese netizens have said. Then the second set of comments is what people have posted directly to chinaSMACK.

Zongzi

Zongzi are the glutinous rice dumplings eaten at the time of the Dragonboat Festival in China. Containing various fillings like mango paste, red bean or green tea, they pretty much taste how they look. Sweeter and denser than clear jello.

For a bit of Dragonboat history:

It was nice, if not a bit pretentious. Check out the pics on facebook.
