Happy Chinese New Year, that is!
We were invited to a JaoZi party the other night. I was excited because we don't go to many "parties" these days unless they are for kids. I was also excited because Chinese food was involved and it was made by Chinese people. Jaozi are what we usually see as "dumplings" at restaurants. The tradition is that on Chinese new year groups of family and friends get together and roll out the dough, make the filling, stuff the dumplings, steam them and then of course eat them. We arrived mostly for the eating part, but it was fun anyway.
I have been involved in "Friendspeak" now for six months or so. It is like the stateside version of "Let's Start Talking." We do it at the church here. Right now all of our students are Chinese. It has been really good for me to participate in. It is fun and is a challenge.
I have enjoyed getting to know LiYan and of course would take her up on her invitation to go visit her in China if given the opportunity.

how very fun. that sounds like a cool program. can we get some info? it might be a neat thing to do here in UT. sounds like a lot of good eats during the chinese new year celebration. . . . !
You speak Chinese and Spanish and what else do you speak? Can you learn the other language by taking it or is it all in English? My sister wants to learn Spanish and I told her this may be a way to do it.
Got my copy of Eat, pray, love....I will start in a week or two as I am reading a lot of homeschool books right now. (we've decided to homeshool so I feel I must research ALOT)I'll let you know when I start.
