Lunch at the Dining Center

Today was our second day of lecture on leadership in China. I found this very interesting and I feel I have a better understanding of how business works in China. After the lecture we went the dining center on campus. This was the first time that I really felt like a foreigner. I really didn't know how to order the food that I wanted. All the other places that we went, either the Chinese students or our tour guide ordered food for us. To order the food I just pointed at something and they understood that but I would like to get better at my Chinese. I have been talking to some people in Chinese but I keep saying the same thing, so my new goal is to learn 5 new words a day. I want to not feel so lost when I am ordering food. I barely know any words for different foods in Chinese so I want to learn more words for that.
