Yet another new experience

Met Ting Lu tonight. She is our jie jie (big sister) from China. We are already in love with her. She is sweet, intelligent, and caring. We are glad to have her as "part of the family."

We met at the "Night of China" at UC. Everything was even introduced in Chinese. I felt really foolish sitting there as though I understood what the M.C.s were saying when I didn't have a CLUE. But the music was great and the food was...different. I'm not prepared to say "great." After a few days, it might work for me, but I ate it and it was a neat experience none-the-less.

The highlight was the folkdance presentation by the adoptees from China. They brought down the house. I got really emotional when the m.c. talked about how special they are. She has no idea about the truth behind that comment. Seeing all those smiling faces and hearing the girls giggles as they counted the 108 stairs to the top floor of Tangeman Hall made me imagine even more.
