Heh, I remember looking like that when I was 4. On Koninginnedag (April 30 when we celebrate the Queen's birthday) we had to sit in a trailer towed by something big, and sing a very stupid song about a Chinese person while being towed through the village. We were clad in what was then regarded as 'Chinese' clothing. We had a Chinese girl in kindergarten at the time who told us that she never said "Wing wang wok-eee oo-aaaaaaa" at home. I absolutely hated the whole charade and I still don't see the fun of it.

All i'm saying is there are other methods of contraception.
I don't know if lemonade works though?

 I'm curious about the cultural relevance of that bit of "pageantry" to Koninginnedag, if any, tsa. It sounds like they never bothered to consult any Chinese people!  I know it was probably meant to be light-hearted and cute, they could probably get away with it back then. If I were in your place, I probably would have stubbornly refused to participate and screamed my head off until my little horns popped off and my face turned purple (well, a different shade of purple)!

That's basically what I did. And of course they never bothered to consult Chinese people. It was 1973, and racism was a word in the dictionary back then. I have the idea that I was the only one who found it ridiculous to sing "Wing wang wok-eee oo-aaaa" instead of some real chinese words.

No screenshot, no download. (Or was that wrong forum?)
