It's a Saturday

As we live our lives, we meet new people and experience new things. Part of these experiences are learning and interacting with different cultures. Today was a wonderful day. I took a friend down to Phoenix so she could spend the day with her mom who fell last weekend and under went surgery to repair the break. Her mom is at a rehab hospital now and doing well. The rest of the time I spent with two of the exchange faculty from China. We went shopping at Best Buy and to the Chinese Cultural Center in Phoenix. We went shopping for the the Chinese New Year the three Chinese classes are going to have. It was really fun to learn new words and going shopping. Liking shopping is something that you will not normally hear me say. But in this case it was shopping for food stuffs and that is always enjoyable. We had lunch at the Golden Buddha. I had some new dishes that I didn't have the last time I was there. Last night I was treated to a wonderful dinner. Overall, it was a great day.
