Last week I celebrated the Dragon Boat Festival with some Chinese friends. The girl on the right is my Chinese tutor. We had a traditional meal that they made. Notice the nine dishes and how they are placed in rows of three. This is the traditional way to eat with your family. After dinner we played Mahjong. It was my first time playing. I really enjoyed it. Now I want to buy my own mahjong set. Everybody in China knows how to play mahjong. Shop owners sit around outside playing mahjong with each other during the day. There are mahjong tea houses all over the place. It is similar to gin rummy, just a little harder.
