Delicious Foods
The students were invited to taste some local delicacies. Some of the dishes included Peking Duck, Pigs Feet, and Pumkin French Fries. There were plenty of delicious alternatives for our vegetarians. All dietary restrictions were carefully considered. Originally we were seated at a long oblong table, but the students requested to sit together in the red velvet donut-shaped booth. From the picture, you can tell we are a close knit bunch.
