Don's Birthday

The school gave Don a birthday party. There’s a hotel on campus so we just headed over there to the restaurant for dinner with a few of the other teachers. Here in China, when you go to a restaurant to eat with a bunch of people, you normally get your own separate room. Guess this makes it more pleasant because it's quieter and there's great service since one server stays in the room with the party.

We had a nice meal which was capped off with a birthday cake. Kathy and Hermen gave Don a bilingual map of China, which we have been looking for. Michelle, the lady who hired us, gave him a box of tea. Rob gave Don a case of his favourite peejiou (beer). I think our memories of China will definitely include peejiou (see next post).
