Christmas Dinner?

For lunch on Christmas Day our Chinese supervisor from the Forestry University where the Language Center operates took us all to lunch . . . for STEAK!

I was skeptical at first . . . but it sure was a pretty good piece of beef!
And then . . .

I was offered the choice piece from the chicken platter . . . and in interest of saving face and building lasting friendships . . .

Interestingly enough, the guy in the background is probably the most quickly enculturated foreigner we have met . . . although it makes a good picture, I am sure his expression has little to nothing to do with what was going on beside him . . . especially since it was HIS chinese girlfriend who offered it!

"What WAS that gushing out when you took a bite?"

Ahhh! Remeber how wonderfully this meal began? With the cute little bunny tomato garnish? Oh how quickly things can go awry!
