Although I was absolutely exhausted after my field study, it was awesome getting together with Neung and Joy for a trip to an art exhibition and lunch at a noodle shop - together with two of her Italian colleagues and her upper level Italian students. The "museum" had a beautiful open area with fountains, falls and this beautiful Buddha ...

"Friends Forever!"

Joy, Neung and I were born on the year of the dog!!

I'm so glad I asked what was it my bowl of noodles... I gently took out my "chunk of boiled blood" with my chopsticks!

This is city hall with an enormous picture of the king and queen. It's actually her birthday this Thursday!
