Cultural Activities.... and More Food!!


Fried dumplings are a go-to meal for us - most of the time, we know what they're made of! Plus they're fairly delicious, especially with soy sauce.




Another dish the group loved - fried noodles in spicy sauce. It looks like soup but there's noodles underneath all those scallions. I would have probably liked them too but I'm not one for spicy stuff.


 
I learned a little of how to play Chinese Chess, but I'm pretty bad at it. It's a complicated game for foreigners to learn, especially if you don't know Chinese characters. I don't know which is harder, learning the characters or learning the game 



 
Another one of my favorite activities was learning a little of Chinese calligraphy. It was also another difficult task; calligraphy is a form of art so even when I thought my brush stroke looked the exact same as the example, I didn't perform the stroke correctly so it wasn't how it should be. Some students study this as a hobby for years.





This was another great meal - fried chicken with sauce, vegetables, and a type of root covered in sticky sweet sauce and yes, rice krispies. They were actually really good!
