Pic o' the Day #16


OK, I know this looks a bit like a previous post, but I really like the picture.

This is in front of Lisa's apartment on the night of our first ever International Potluck Dinner.

Chinese usually entertain at restaurants instead of at home for a few reasons. First, people's home in the past were not very large. Second, chinese food can be prepared quickly, but it cannot easily be timed to finish at one moment. The host would always be in the kitchen making the next dish. It's a delight at a restaurant to have a steady flow of new dishes.

The evening was a big hit with everyone and the food was amazing.

Four of the party goers: 骆海辉 Luo Hai Hui, the dean of the Foreign Languages department, 姜葵 Jiang Kui, my Chinese teacher, 黄鸣 Huang Ming, a professor in the Foreign Languages department, and 贝祥 Bei Xiang, a humble teacher.
