Chinese opera and the countryside

Today, instead of going to class, we participated in a culture activity. We went to Jiaozhou, a small town about an hour away from Qingdao, where we watched a few performances of traditional Chinese opera.



This is me with some of the performers.

After mingling, we ate a horrible lunch at a restaurant that smelled like dead seafood.

Then, we went to a school where some children performed a fan dance for us.



After that, we visited a farming village. There, we toured a typical country house and the family's peach/apple orchard.
