新年快乐 Happy new years!

Celebrating lunar new years is something i've wanted to do, but it seems like I never have time to. This year was different.  I spent some time at a local college and learned some interesting things.

• When we arrived we made a two types of dumplings; vegetarian and pork.
•  we "learned" how to dance… well we started to learn, but then we ended up playing with the ribbon that was tied around our waists.
• we ate plenty of food. Besides the dumplings (饺子 jiao zi) we had some oranges ( 桔子 ju zi)  a glutinous cake with red bean filling, an assortment of candies and some nuts and seeds.
• there were also several musical performances, some were of poplar songs and some more traditional. The live music was phenomenal the games were really interactive.

I think I enjoyed going with one of my classmates (同学 tongxuue) most of all. Learning a new language is always more fun when you do it with someone you get along with.
