I spent my day at a nice couple's house....The lady, Eng, is a Singaporean who has been living in Madison for 30years; her husband, Bill, is a friendly & easy-going American.
I knew Eng at around September, but we didn't get a chance to meet each other due to some unforseen circumstances everytime when we decided to meet.
I am grateful that i managed to meet her in person today.
So, Eng & her husband invited me & some 4 other International Students over for Thanksgiving dinner.
I had a lot of good food there....& i had a long-nice chat with Eng & Bill after dinner while others were playing Ping Pong.
We talked for hours....about all kind of stuff ranging from food to winter & of course, we did talk a lot abt academic stuff since she was a pure Econ major from undergrad to PHD.
I have gained a lot of things from the Thanksgiving treat today:
First, i have gained weight coz i ate a lot!
Second, i have gained knowledge & information abt lots of things.
Third, i have gained some conversational skills & i think Adam would be happy to know that i speak English for hours till i have sore-throat! XD
All in all, today is a fruitful day!
The dishes & the conversation makes me feel like home!
little gift
light refreshments are prepared when we arrived
i am so LIKE their house!GREAT combination of American+Asian Culture!
