21 June 2010 Eggs stand on Winter Solstice (Dumpling Festival)


According to folklore, eggs will stand in an upright position once a year during the bacang or dumpling festical.  16 June 2010 was also the Dragon Boat festival, celebrated by the Chinese on the fifth day of the fifth month of the Chinese Lunar calendar.








Papa was having his dinner and reading the newspaper when the report of this phenomenon caught his eye, so he stopped eating and took out two eggs and made them sand.

the eggs stood upright beautifully!






During the next winter or winter solstice or equinox, (check the almanac or google it) and try it!!! Amaze your little sister or brother!!
