Reunion

       So today we had a reunion for Charlotte.
       She was one of the nine exchange students two years ago. She married Eric in China in August. Now they are having honeymoon here because Charlotte wants to show Eric where she studied, where she stayed, and her friends.
       We had dinner at Sushiko on the University Street. As far as I known, a lot of Chinese and also many Americans love that restaurant. The boss over there is super nice and hospitable.
We had 27 people in total at the party room. It was packed, but it was really fun. Our American grandpa joined us also. He is the one who is taking Charlotte and Eric to Florida tomorrow. We had a few Americans, and most of them have been different areas in China. To be honest, they all went to somewhere I have never been. Shame on me.
       Grandpa got to know a lot of young people..That's why I encouraged him to join us because he could stay younger..:P
       Mitch is an American. He told me that he was so surprised that there are these many Chinese around here. Guess what, Mitch...there are more all over everywhere! :P Mitch stayed in Beijing for two years and speaks pretty good Chinese. And he loves this restaurant.
       Overall, all of us had a great time (hope so). At the very end, after we appreciated the boss' making all those sushi, he offered a free Japanese drink to whoever wanted to have a drink. So people went crazy. Some girls and I didn't have any but watched they competing. It is kind of tradition. In China, it is very common the young people drink with friends. It is different culture. Drinking is very normal even just simple holiday. My dad will drink and have some snacks with his friend and talk. Surely, it is just for relaxation and talk. In college, people drink because it is fun?? I don't know. It is not fun actually. They always try to get you drunk or something, not sure why. They just drink when they have reunion or sing in the karaoke...(The karaoke in Asia is in private room, not in public.) There are bars in China, but I haven't been any yet. So I am not going to talk about this since I don't really know how exactly it is.
       Anyway, it was loud at the restaurant because we Chinese were there. :P (stereotyping)
       I really appreciate everybody came and had a little bit reunion. :) It was fun.
