While I am taking in all the benefits of nature in Canada, I seem to be missing a lot of fun in China. A few days ago, 1,200 bikini clad girls gathered in Guangzhou and stood in the shape of Olympic circles to celebrate the summer games. The spectacle set a new Guinness record.
China has a penchant for organizing mass actions to break the Guinness record. We hold the world record for the biggest moon cake ever made, the most people eating hotpot at the same time, etc. And now we have the biggest gathering of bikini girls. We’ve come a long way.
Hi, I am Jenny Zhu from ChinesePod.com. I bring you a slice of the Chinese language and culture in the daily podcast. But there is so much more than what a podcast has time for, so jennyzhu.com is a space of observation and reflection on the big, small and everything in between about China.

Golly, something to be really proud of! Malaysians also get really excited about these mass participation world records.

naruwan,
The video clip said the previous mass bikini record was set by Australians. Maybe it’s a universal fascination.

When it comes to precision displays in large numbers East Asians are hard to beat. I’m not sure if the prize goes to China or N Korea.

Sorry you missed out on the fun, but please feel free to dance around in a bikini in Canada. We’re not as conservative as you think.
I have this irresistible urge to add “, baby” to the end of your article.
