One of the good things
about getting married was that members of my family came over. Not everybody
could get here, but it was good to see those that were able to make it.
Mum, David (Brother),
Nicole (Sister), Roslyn and Brenton (Sister and Brother-in-Law). They also
brought over a whole range of goodies with them - Vegemite, Chokitos and Polly
Waffles, Magazines, Pictionary and a Play Station (with games!). Now Play
Station, that's a real wedding present...
It was interesting to
see the family try the different food that is on offer over here in China
(well, David's travelled many places and eaten many things, but it was interesting
for the rest). There is nothing here that is like what we call 'Chinese Food'
back in Australia. Most of that stuff is from the south of China, the rest
of China has a totally different style of taste (and quite good) - Duck's
Blood soup, Cow Stomach Lining, Fish (inc tail and head), 'real' spring rolls,
to name a few.
I think in this picture
they've all just eyed the stomach lining...
It was fun while they
were here, good to see them again. They are slightly mentally disturbed at
times, but made a good wedding that much better. Hopefully see them again in
another year or two.
Cue: "I'm
leaving on a jet plane..."
Roslyn, Brenton, Nicole, Mum
