We were invited to a BBQ outside Tracy's House. The food was fantastic. There were all kinds of burgers, hot dogs, chips, bunches of grapes, strawberries, watermelon and a few kinds of beverages.
Although it was smoky, I had a wonderful time to communicate with other students who are also participants of REU.
The girl from Thailand really scared me in that not only could she speak a few Chinese words but she had also seen the famous TV series 'Chuckle Of Huan Zhu' which was released around 1998 in China! It was very funny when we decided to teach her the first Chinese character '囧' which means embarrassed. The word '囧' is not a real Chinese character (you will never find it in a Chinese dictionary) but a picture made by ourselves and it has spread through the internet all over China. It really looks like an embarrassed face.
Late in the afternoon, Tracy and us exchanged our well-orchestrated and selected pop music. We talked a lot about education in China and America and we showed where we live in China on the google map and the websites of our high schools.
At last, we watched the movie 'Shrek' which was both interesting and exciting. But we felt really sorry that we had stayed in Tracy's House for such a long time! It was after midnight when we finished the movie and started to come back to our dormitory. We were so frightened that we almost ran to Oxford Rd., for nobody wanted to be robbed or even hurt!
