Holiday time is special and over much too quick. I too went to a New Year Eve's supper at a Chinese restaurant. I got to eat pig's ears and beef stomach. It all tasted very good. The most fun was visiting and talking while we drove to the restaurant which was an hour away.
Chinese people come to this restaurant from many smaller towns, so it is always full with people waiting. We had reservations, so we were able to sit down immediately. I kept feeling sorry for the people outside waiting, however. I took some pictures in the restaurant. The first one shows me in my Chinese silk blouse. I got it at Reed Flute Cave in Guilin last winter when my husband and I visited China as tourists. The people with me are visiting scholars at Morehead State University. They have come to stay in America for about two months. They are taking a few classes and learning about our culture. My husband and I have fed them one meal at my home. Two of the people in the pictures are former or present students of mine. I got to see a baby son of one of my former Taiwanese students there. She married an American man who lives only a few miles from Morehead.

Tomorrow night I will be presenting a program about Yangshuo, China to the Morehead Men's Club. They are a group of men who get together for a program of a informative nature. I will tell them about my trips to Yangshuo and our Sister City relationship with Yangshuo. I have a small DVD to show them and several items from China that show the culture. I hope I do a good job of presenting China and her culture.

Blessings,
