| dc.description.abstract | Broadcast Transcript: In America, we don't celebrate bugs nearly enough. I mean, when was the last time you were happy, really happy to see a bug, spiders included? Be honest. I thought so. We might not necessarily kill them when we see them but not killing them doesn't actually count as true celebration. Now, China. There's a country that knows how to make a bug feel good. Bugs have their very own holiday in the Chinese calendar. It's called the Feast of the Excited Insects and it falls on March 5th. Celebrated in Korea, too, it marks the day when insects awaken from their long winter subterranean snooze. But it's more than just bug reawakening that's being celebrated here: it's nature's reawakening. It's spring and so the excited insects are welcomed with open hearts. And open mouths. They eat bugs in China too but that's the subject of another Postcard. #ceas #china #hacker | |
