Family Bonding Time

Yesterday, we had our "Big Family" banquet held at the Lakeview Hotel.  This was an event for all students in the PKU International Summer School Program.  It was a very fun night filled with student performances, games, food, laughter, and friends.

There were a few dancing and singing performaces throughout the night.  The first performance was a group dance performed by UNC students.  The UC students performed Taeyang's Wedding Dress.  There was also a student who belly danced and another one who sang 甜蜜蜜.  There were a few other performances, but the highlight of the night was the very last performance by a few of our IARU students.  Some Japanese students from our program did a Momokuro dance cover.  It was very entertaining because 4 boys and 1 girl danced to this J-pop girl group dance while wearing dresses. Their performance was very energetic, cute, and funny.  We also played a few games in between some of the performances.

Family Dinner <3

After the banquet, many of us went out to 三里屯 to enjoy Beijing's nightlife.  It was my first time there and the area was very lively with many foreigners.  I met a lot of students outside of the IARU program yesterday night, and we enjoyed some family bonding time together.
