Hui's Party 4

    The great cake is nearly cut...

Time to start handing out pieces.

Meanwhile, Jinghua is getting very hungry, and is examining dishes on the menu with increased interest.

Yessir, a piece is ready to go!

Got to make sure that everyone gets all that they are entitled to!

Here, take this piece fast! I have more work to do!

Down to the last two pieces. Xingying is enjoying Hui's struggles a little too much, if you ask me.

This meal went in reverse. We had the cake first ,and then the main courses. Here we are with the bounty of delicious dishes that everyone had ordered.

Dig in!

The other side of the table.

Yele is getting tired as the meal winds down.

Then the thunder and lightning came and the heavens opened up with rain and hailstones. But it was all over in ten minutes.

Another view during the downpour. That big building at the left rear is the Jingshi Hotel, where I stay while at Beijing Normal University.
