a Nan-Jeon Christmas

The foreign lanuage department at Nan-Jeon held a Christmas party today. Students spoke about their study abroad experiences in Japan, France and America (Joplin, to be specific). Unfortunately, the speakers all spoke in Chinese -- but, there was cake, which requires no translation.

(above) One of the soups that was offered - it was actually quite tasty and was a mixture of vegetables, noodles and dumplings (if you could find them).

I would have taken a picture of the various cakes ... if only there had been some left.
