Arriving in Yi Yang, Hunan

Last October my family hosted teacher Zhang Xian Zhen from Yi Yang, Hunan. Zhang and I became good friends during her visit and tell me lots of things about her family, hometown and school so I went to check it out for myself.

Zhang and her son, Kan Kan, met me at the Changsha Airport, we drove 1 hr to her hometown, Yi Yang.

Uncle Peng (Zhang's Husband) and I hanging out.

At lunch I learned that Zhang and Uncle Peng like very spice food - they had to order special dishes just for me to eat because I don't like spicy food. Also, I learned that people in China like to have a hot breakfast, hot lunch and a hot dinner by hot I mean cooked food. If they don't eat hot food then they don't feel full after they eat. When eating at a restaurant the food is placed on the glass round thing and everyone takes a little food at a time buts it on their plate. The glass turns around in a circle making it easy for people to take only the food that they will eat for the next few mouthfuls then they get some more. Tea is served with every meal.

Oh and everyone eats with chopsticks or a spoon!
