Conversation Night - Technology

Hey everyone, thanks for coming out last night and joining us in our discussion of modern day social networks.  I've heard a lot about twitter in the past, but last night was the first time I actually saw what it actually looked like.

We looked at other social networks both chinese and english.  Afterwards we got a bit into watching videos off of Youtube and reading posts off of Engrish.com and the Fail site.

Next week, we'll be changing our room.  Most likely back to HH 224, so be sure to look out for e-mail and facebook to see where it will be at.  Not sure what we're doing exactly, but I heard something about eating and dragon boat.  Hope to see you all back next week.

Game Night

Thank you for those who came to the meeting, it was really fun and we actually used Mandarin today!!!  We had 2 tables playing Mah Jong, and there were both people that were new to it and people who already knew how to play teach.

The 3rd table played various card games such as Poker, Black Jack, Mafia, and BS.  We tried our best telling the stories while playing Mafia in Mandarin as well as counting in Chinese for BS.

Don't forget that tommorrow from 11AM-2PM we will be in front of HIB selling Jamba Juice.  Also, be sure to join us for next weeks meeting for Conversation Night: Technology and Internet lingo in English and Chinese.  Hope to see you all there!

Cinco de Mayo

Hey Everyone, sorry for the last post again.  Hopefully everyone was on top of their mid-terms and school work the past week (or at least did a better job of taking care of them compared to me).  Last week, we celebrated Cinco de Mayo with the rest of the club and got some fish tacos from Rubio's!

We learned some new words for English, Chinese, and Spanish, got a little carried away and started learning about other languages too.  It's good to see so many people joining our meetings now, it makes it a lot more lively.

Tonight is game night, and from what I heard, we have 4 sets of Mah Jong.  This is one of our most popular events we have each quarter.  Even though people don't know how to play, they're still interested in learning, which makes it a fun experience for everyone!  Gonna go check it out now and then report back on the meeting soon after.

Drinking Games

Hey Everyone, I'm very sorry for the late post.  I hope everyone else is taking care of mid-terms and school work a lot better than I am right now.  Last week, we got together and played some drinking games but had V8 as our drink.  Yeaaaaaaah, a lot of people don't like the salty taste, so it was funny to watch you guys squint and stutter from drinking it!

Tonight, we're going to be celebrating Cinco de Mayo and learn about the culture behind it.  We will be eating Rubio's from what I hear.  So we'll have Tacos, Chips, Salsa, and soda to accompany our discussions and games for tonight.  Hope to see you all there!
