For the last day of Chinese New Year, the 15th day, a few of us went to a friend's house to celebrate. Because the New Year was so early this year, many students had to be back to school before the end of the holiday and so couldn't be at home to celebrate with their family. Sooo, my friend Kara invited some of our Chinese friends over so we could celebrate. We tried to make it very Chinese style for them.
We ate Chinese food cooked by Kara (sooo good!)
teamwork
we chatted
we did fun fireworks
there is no rules about what kind of fireworks you can buy. This was from the smallest of the boxed ones they had-only 6 dollars. It is amazing how big of fireworks anyone can put off.
And of course ate tang yuan (er). This is a kind of food that is always eaten on the 15th day. It is made of sticky rice mushed into balls with a flavoring inside. Ours were either peanut flavored or black sesame flavored. Very good though a little strange of texture.

how fun! i had both the peanut butter and black sesame when i was there for new years in 2003! yum! (although they couldn't explain to me that it was going to explode the filling into my mouth when i bit into it... after the shock i enjoyed it!)
haha. yeah, they are pretty weird when eating them the first time. and some people think they look like eyeballs! ha
I'm not going to lie; this is the most incredible Chinglish you've ever produced. I'm so proud of you! :)
