On Saturday evening of the past week, I went to the ISI International Friendship Dinner held in Mr. and Mrs. Newman's house and really had a great time there. During this event, I got to know many new friends from different parts of the world (and I also got a great chance to practice my

Japanese and French which I'm taking in UVA now). For dinner, we had traditional American dishes and Malaysian desserts. They tasted delicious! After that, we held a short get-together, where I got a special gift and also played the piano for all of us. Then we had a choice between two intriguing discussions. One was about the Bible, and the other was about Valentine's Day. I took the latter one and learned a lot about Valentine's origin as well as the traditions of Valentine around the world.  We also played a game of pictionary. I enjoyed myself so much this exceptional evening!
