6/16 Half Tet

Worked on the database at Green Bamboo Shelter and was invited for lunch to celebrate Half Tet - or the day that marks the Chinese half year.  Was served a fried tofu noodle pancake that we put into lettuce leaves with basil and some other greens and then dipped into yummy fish sauce.  One of the boys gave my a Bon Bao- a doughy desert to celebrate the day.  Later that night, one of my students brought in fermented rice that was basically just alcohol, red rice that was supposed to be lucky and lychees.  Happy Half Tet;)!
