Lovely meal

After a long week back at school I finally had a weekend with no plans this weekend, in fact most of the people I know are busy or away, even Chris is busy with his friend coming to visit for a week so I have time to sit down and prepare classes, study chinese, all the other thousands of things I've been putting off, (yes including blogging, I'm sorry I'm sorry!)

However at lunch Liandi mentioned that their friend had a meal tonight, and would I like to come too? I accepted and they drove and picked Liandi and I up and together we went to their house for a home cooked meal.

Her friends husband doesn't speak much English and all the conversation (nearly) was in Chinese, a good percentage of which I followed, which was promising, I even managed to make a few related comments on a few stories, and tell a few small stories myself, a good step towards taking a more active part in Chinese conversations between Chinese people going on around me... A big step and very different from taking part when they are obviously speaking to you, a little carefully and a little slowly!
That is not to say I understood everything, but a good amount, I was happy with it!

I had a good meal and a good talk in their lovely house and they dropped me home, very very nice people, and very welcoming to a strange foreigner who dropped by at the last minute!
