The Memories of a Chinese Family
Most of us didn’t know each other before this trip. Actually, a lot of us haven’t even seen each other before this trip, which is rather lame considering the size of the campus. Yet, now we have become family. Our memories belong to a family album!
The Family Album of the TIC group:
The confused looks of Chinese receptionist when faced by the Issue of Prof. Pirkle and Prof. Luecke. They travel together, they eat together, they take care of kids together, but they each have a separate room? One of those receptionists tried to set our professors straight by offering them the honeymoon suite…
Jess outrunning her new Chinese friends at 6:30 in the morning! While eating almonds!
Alisha’s unbelievable bargaining skills she manages to pull even when her hair is “out of control”!
Thomas’s Shanghai dancing moves!
Bryce’s constant use of almost perfect Chinese!
Amanda being the absolute player on the dance floor!
Kristen’s crazy basketball skills on the Chinese courts!
Christina’s sketchy meetings with “friends” outside our group, in China! Yeah right;)
Alex K.’s supa-dupa cool dancing on a moving ship!
Melissa’s unrequited love with conditioners and her odd desire to wash her hair 3 times with different shampoos!
Sarah’s “first class” in the morning and “L.O.V.E.” in the evening! She was only singing:)
Taylor’s intense concentration on the spinning meat dishes.
Ryan’s unmatched skills in preparing dumplings and throwing girls over his shoulder!
Matt’s incomprehensible for the Chinese American accent!
Katie’s walks in her bathrobe!
Caroline’s delightful loudness and (surprising;) victory in Linda’s musical chairs!
Cami’s really real barking on the Great Wall.
Alex W’s desire to stay true to the international experience even when he has to chose the animal the restaurant will “prepare” for his meal...
Maggie’s wonderful days with the best China group in the world!
