One more event before we leave! We have had many student
volunteers help us this year with all kinds of projects and even just basic
support, like getting internet connected to our apartment, setting up a Chinese
bank account, campus ID photos, Campus Orientation, and departmental meetings
it seems like a great idea to say thank you to the whole group. Twelve volunteers were invited to an open
house at our little 350 square foot dormitory apartment on December 14. We wondered if they would all come together
or if open house style would work well.
I made Jessica’s Carmel popcorn and bought tangerines from
the fruit market for the menu items. We quickly became the entertainment spot
for the evening. I wondered how many we
could really get into our little spot but the students were very adept at
squeezing in many bodies in a small area.
Larry Cook also a China Teacher from Laramie Wyoming, in
#304 just above us brought his guitar and we have taken advantage of his gifts
and talents to sing non-religious Christmas Carols. He became our entertainment for the evening.
They all came together, they all stayed together and they
all loved to sing the English Christmas Carols.
I put the lyrics on a PPT so they could see the words, Larry played the
guitar and we had a regular sing-a-long.
It was an exciting surprise to watch them enjoy American culture.
