The First Chinese Lunch

Going into this lunch I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect. We met Mr. Benny Cole (sorry if I spelled it incorrectly) and he got me really excited for not only the lunch, but for the course itself. I came into the course eager to learn but as we got closer to the actual lunch I truly was anxious.
The day of the lunch it was on my mind heavy. Partially because I did not know what to expect, and also because I love food, but not always trying new food. My nerves were not eased either when I walked in Jordan Hall and could smell the food throughout the hallway. I was trying to figure out what it was but my nose was not trained enough to be able to tell. When I walked in ands saw two trays of dumplings all my nerves went away. I love dumplings, especially fried dumplings, and thats exactly what was in there.
I introduced myself, made myself a plate, and engaged in conversation. We spoke about the terracotta warriors and future possibilities with interactions between the Indianapolis Chinese community. I am looking forward to the next opportunity to do something like this.
