Ali- CP #6

I went to the Chinese Mid-Autumn festival with Jennifer and her sister. I knew that Jen’s conversation partner, Biou, was performing and we were going to watch the event. I didn’t know if Mandy was going to be there or not because she had planned to go to the beach with the CIES group that day but didn’t because she didn’t feel well. So, I saw her at the festival and she helped give me information on how to get extra tickets, since I had not bought one prior to the event. Once inside, we were a bit overwhelmed by the large crowd and the fact that everyone was speaking Chinese and we couldn’t understand anything. We saw Biou perform a dance and she played keyboard during several songs at the every end of the event. By the end of the event I was honestly drained because I couldn’t understand half of what was going on, but had still enjoyed it and definitely intended to ask Mandy in further detail what some of the skits were and what they had been talking about.
