Our normal teaching routine is Monday through Thursday with Friday open for preparations, grading, etc. But today we were invited to a special luncheon at a very nice restaurant. Rod was able to answer questions and observations about the potential of IoT for job possibilities for our students and also to comment on the students' performance thus far. We ate around a traditional round Chinese table with a center "lazy Susan" of sorts where the various dishes are brought one at a time and rotated so each person can try them. We had so many dishes to try, I don't think I can name them all. We started with some spicy chicken wings, then a green iced African vegetable with horseradish sauce, some shrimp, beef and mushrooms, pork, eggplant dish, a Shanghai specialty of smoked, fried fish chunks, a bread that looked like a big spotted mushroom but contained minced red beans and meat, also a bowl of soup with tofu. There was a sweet, sticky rice dessert and slices of watermelon. It was really a feast. We have been warmly received here!
