ILSSO: Monday, January 12, 2009

Today we visited Northwest A&F University, a huge agricultural university. We toured part of their campus and talked and ate lunch with some of their students. Many of the Chinese students were in awe at how little Americans study throughout their schooling. It is common for them to study 12 hours per day, while we may study 3 hours outside of class.

We then visited the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and finished the day with dinner and a show. We were served an 18-course dumpling meal, and each dumpling had a different stuffing. The pork dumpling was in the shape of a small pig and the chicken dumpling look like a chicken. I even tried shark fin dumpling. At the restaurant we enjoyed the Tang Dynasty Show after our meal.
