22 January 2004—Dinner At Mei's Family's House
One of the highlights of my stay in Guiyang was visiting the house of Mei's mom and dad. They invited me for dinner on the evening of New Year's Day.
Ray's father (Mei's cousin) is in the background. The other two are his sister (right) and her daughter (left).
Mei's aunt (wife of Mei's father's brother) with Ray (center of the children) and the son and daughter of Mei's cousin (the sister of Ray's father).
The same group. We are just about ready to start eating. Most of the food was cooked by Mei's sister, who was shy and stayed in the kitchen.
Clockwise from the front: Mei's mom, her niece, Mei's data, his brother, the brother's wife, Ray's father (son of the previous two), and Mei.
Time to eat!
