Christmas Dinner 1—The Delicious Dinner

    Prof. Zhuang treated the group to Christmas dinner after the lectures. We all had a great time, as shown in the pictures below.

Toasting time at Table 1.

Toasting time at Table 2. Yele is clearly the most enthusiastic toaster, since his glass is the highest.
