I met up with Mike and Andrew! We ate at Yum Yum Too, a delicious thai restaurant.
The Friday event was a health panel about "China's Contributions to Global Health." Sam J was my date!
Jeff, a former fellow in Changsha, came in from New Jersey to have lunch with me, and we went to the Museum of Chinese in America (MOCA). Yale-China has an exhibit right now in celebration of its 100 years. We were very proud.
The grand gala event was Saturday from 5:30-10:30 pm. Skylar, my friend from Concert Band, came down from Yale to attend the celebration as well.
Mayor Bloomberg was invited to the 100th anniversary. Unfortunately, he was unable to attend...
... so he declared that day as Yale-China Association Day!
The evening had a few panels featuring alumni of the teaching fellowship.
These are some of the pictures from Pratt House where the celebration was.
This was my French Connection dress, which I was so excited to wear!
Our flights to and from New York on Continental Airlines featured individual screens with hundreds of movies and tv shows to choose from. A+ Continental!
We flew over Greenland and you could see the edge of the sun's glow in the horizon.
On the flight, we had Haagan Dazs for the mid-flight snack!
That's all for now! Tonight we rest in Shanghai at a friend's house. I will be back with more pictures!
1) Cute dress
ReplyDelete2) Are you trying to recruit Skylar for Yale-China?
3) Thank goodness about Continental. I'm flying them to Shanghai next week!
<3 Thanks Rosa!
ReplyDeleteNo, not recruiting Skylar--it seems she has her heart set on Brazil after graduating!
And you'll love Continental. Enjoy the Expo, but be warned--it is a lot of people and a lot of waiting in lines. But also be sure to try some of the "specialty" snacks at each of the pavilions.
Wowzah of course the dress is gorgeous! Looks like a fun party with delicious food! That picture looking out from the plane is unreal and how lucky you got the best ice cream ever as a snack! I should fly Continental!!!
