It was a truly wonderful Saturday, filled with relaxation, good food, and great entertainment. Our apartment on the 15th floor has gotten chillier in the last few weeks, so my roommate and I made the most of our coldness and watched TV for a good part of the day today. It wasn't just any TV though, it was a BBC miniseries. Sooooo good. We had to put a pause in our viewing, though, to head out with a group from school for hot pot and Sichuan Opera. I've had hot pot before, so that wasn't entirely a new experience (although I ate pig's throat tonight, which was a definitely first), but the opera was definitely new and exciting. It wasn't so much an opera (or at least what I picture when I hear the word opera) as a variety show, but it was very well done and entertaining.
Those bits and pieces alone would have made for a great day, but it was topped off by a marvelous conversation with some of the ladies from a small group that I was a part of back in Washington. Hearing them laugh and seeing them all together was such an incredible blessing. I am so thankful for a family that spreads all the way around the world!
