Dinner with Vivian's family was amazing. Her mother was such a great host and cooked a wonderful meal for my friend Alysha and I. I'm not quite sure what everything was, but it was pretty much a five-course meal. The meal itself included dishes like shrimp, duck, and vegetables. I also tried mushrooms for the first time and didn't hate them! Vivian's dad kind of reminded me of my dad because he was very quiet and strict but was still thoughtful and nice. And I'm convinced Vivian's little brother is my little brother's Erik's asian twin! ha ha. He was so sweet and actually taught me how to use chopsticks! I told him I wanted to glue them to my hand so that I wouldn't forget, but since that isn't possible I have since not been able to hold chopsticks the correct way. :( Even though we came empty handed (sorry mom) we left with new chinese hand-scroll paintings that Vivian's mother personally painted with only two years of experience (I'll post pictures up soon), tons of food, red pocket money (gift unmarried people receive for Chinese New Year), and new bed sheets! It was an unforgettable experience and I can't express enough gratitude to Vivian and her family.
Looks like you had fun with a very sweet family. I am glad you had fun!
