Full moon cakes :)

Yuhuhuh, after reading several pages from an e-book, I felt like going to a Chinese-organized kitchen-event, when we had been proposed to prepare some so-called traditional Full moon cakes! Well I had expected earlier that we will prepare also the basic pasta out from the ingredients, but not...

nevertheless we asked a Chinese girl about the recipe, cause we found one around, but it was in Chinese :) I am so sorry i forgot to bring it with me :) but we were able to find out about Chinese letters :D For instance, the word water is only one letter , and not that dificult to recognize... and there are plenty of expressive letters, such as the icon for >down<>up< :)

On the whole, we participated (we: two Finnish and me, one of them actually has got a Chinese wife from Sanghaj:) ) , so participated during the final stages of creating Full-moon cakes, (I`d rather call them cookies, but never mind)>

There you go!

So, it was very nice event, they are coming from NCTU , a famous technical university from Taiwan, which has pretty good relations with Chalmers. They have exchange students there, we have them here, now they are celebrating 5th years anniversary. They are astonishingly sociable and open-minded, we liked it. They just came and start to speak, sometimes so fast, it was quite funny :) . Perhaps we should invite them to our upcoming International food and drink event :) Moreover, it is very nice think to get closer to other cultures, even if it is a far-east culture. Well, we have two Chinese classmates, but they are not like these guys, ours are more introverted.. :( Though I would not think that this is the real difference between Taiwan and mainland China...

Last Saturday I hosted my officialy first guest, an old friend from first year at the Hungarian university, we met during some boring German language lesson. Currently he works in the city of Lund for Ericcson, but not as an normal employee, rather some project worker, his contract is only for next 5 months. I asked him, whats next, he said he doesnt know, but not worried about it! I love that approach so much! By the way, we behaved very well, see: :)

Anyway, Saltholmen, where this picture was taken, is one of my favourite places around! It was my fourth time being there, the famous terminus of tram 11! :)

Next time I am planning to mention about education and my classes here!
