My friend and I were walking in the park of the Big Pagoda when this girl came running up and got in front of us. She was about 8 years old and said 'You two are beautiful. I wanted to tell you.' After she said that I was waiting for her mom to run up with a camera but instead she gave us each a hug. It was the sweetest thing. This is a gutsy girl. She knew exactly what to say in English to get her point across and never got a camera out. I wasn't sure what to make of the whole thing until after she walked away and I realized she had no other motives except to tell us we were beautiful in English and give us a hug. Pretty awesome and sure made our day.
It's a fun holiday for the kids. I'm not so sure the parents were having as good of a time as the kids. The Chinese I've spoken to about Children's Day were very surprised we don't have this in the US. If I was still a kid I would say of course we should have it!
