Culture Night

Wednesday night was Culture Night. I participated in the Chinese Culture Association's performance. We had been rehearsing for a few weeks, and it was so worth it in the end :)

Here is a link to a video of our performance: Dragon Dance
We all painted our faces for the performance, but after it was over and I went to wash it off, it took forever to get off! At first, it didn't come off at all. And then it slowly started thinning out. I was afraid someone was going to come home, see my face, and think I was attacked.

During the performance, the girl who was at the very back of the dragon fell down. None of us even noticed until afterward. Luckily, she fell right before the place where we put Steven in the audience to switch with her. Kristin (my roommate who came and saw us) said that the girl faceplanted.
After the performance, she said her cheek hurt, but she was okay.

Then on Friday night, I went to the International film. It was Ponyo :) It was the third or fourth time I've seen it. But this time it was in Japanese.
Holly and Courtney had agreed to go with me before. But at the last minute, Courtney decided she didn't want to go. And Holly was asleep. So I went by myself.
Luckily, once I got there and sat down by myself, Steven spotted me and came and sat by me.
