Every weekend, weather permitting, the willing (and able) participants are loaded into the van and cars and taken on a ‘field trip’. I kind of feel like I’m back in school on these. So our first field trip was to a village from the Dong Dynasty. For those of you unfamiliar with Chinese pronounciation (almost all of you I think) it is pronounced TONG. News to me, good thing we have interpreters!
\nAnyways, this was a spot about 40 minutes out of Huaihua beside a small lake. The village was made entirely of wood and had the cool architechtural style that we associate with China.

\nWe were served a meal which consisted of no less than 10 different dishes. Seated at our table were 3 children and a Muslim couple so there was way too much for us to eat at one sitting. We were able to take a fair bit of it back with us since we really enjoyed it!
\nAfter our meal there was a cultural dance performance which was quite interesting. We couldn’t understand a word that the announcer was saying (there were many Chinese visitors as well), but that’s ok.
