| Nothing says 'Happy Christmas' like a 3D version of Mr. Durik dressed as Santa...I don't know what the Mandarin is all about. |
 |
| And nothing says "Christmas in China" than to throw up a bunch of tinsel, random cut outs, and twinkling lights to call it 'good'. |
 |
| I thought covering the whole door to look like Santa was clever... |
 |
| But my favorite was the "Dear Santa" letter... the students had been very good and all they were asking for was extra credit, a Christmas holiday (they are in school), restful sleep, and less pollution. Only in the China, lol. |
 |
| Ms. Betty and I had spoken about a month ago about an activity to help bridge the gap between our Chinese teacher friends and the Western staff. Food always brings people together, and Betty offered to teach the Western staff how to make Chinese dumplings. There are dumpling shops all over the 'jing, and we LOVE dumplings! |
 |
| Eric got a lesson from Betty on how to roll them out...my goodness was Betty speedy quick! |
 |
| We had lots of fillings to choose from, so Ale and I took to stuffing them. |
 |
| Then I got a lesson in how to make a traditional fold and a more fancy fold for special occasions- like Christmas. |
 |
| Tah-Dah! The dumpling cooking lesson was a grand success, and we all enjoyed eating the fruits of our labor! |
And what did you do at work today???
G'nite, y'all!
