Looking Back…

We had a full dosage of traditional Christmas in December. We stayed over at the Freudenburgs with their children, in-laws, and grand children. It was a wonderful time of experiencing the family traditions of the Freudenburgs; Christmas day dinner, Christmas story-telling, gifts opening, fun activities, etc.

We had a quiet evening at the Freudenburgs on New Year Eve.

We used the Christmas/New Year break to catch up with the studies.

The new semester started on 12 January. It has been a stretch of trying to finish as much of the 4 remaining courses as possible. We ceased all outstation travelling to concentrate on the studies.Yes, we did celebrate Chinese New Year with the two professors from the Family Life Department, some fellow students, and friends. We decorated the common area of our dormitory with 2 paper lanterns and any pao packets which Douglas sent to us earlier. A surprise dish was the chicken feet. One of the guests thought that they were paws of cats we slaughtered for the meal. We had a great evening.

The weather is kind of crazy sometimes. The coldest day so far was minus 21 degree Celsius. It was very cold. We were told that this winter has been especially cold and the snow fall has been unusually high. Winter weather is expected to last until the end of April.

Looking Forward…

We are really looking forward to going home, to meet up with our family members, church members, and friends.

3 more weeks to go…

However, we will surely miss the people here. We will talk more on this in our blog next week before we leave.
