Today we had a BBQ with the Chinese students
that have been showing us around Tianjin and that have been attending
class. It was bitter sweet for
everyone involved in the fact that we learned a lot about culture because they
took us out all the time and told us what we should do. It was sad though driving away from
about 15 sad faces waving to people they will probably never see again. They
are all so wonderful and amazing, not to mention so generous. I will miss Tianjin and all the
interesting people I met along the way.
It is sweet in the fact that we get to move on to seeing Shanghai, which
I'm sure will be an amazing experience.
But also bitter in the fact that we need to leave the students behind,
after they had given us so much.
Back to the BBQ, the Chinese students loved it! We had a few minor glitches at first
with charcoal not starting up. But
then the Korean restaurant saved us with charcoal that was already hot. Everyone loved the cheeseburgers and
chicken. It was a great farewell.
