YC weekend + Potluck Success

I didn't write a post for yesterday!
So I have to make it up today.
To sum it up, the post is dedicated to be YC weekend + Potluck success.

SAT Oct. 22
-went to the gym
-then did grocery shopping for the potluck dinner

I have to say that I dislike shopping now but I enjoy grocery shopping.
In the chinese grocery store, you find things that you wouldn't find in a Canadian grocery store. (Some interesting things and some gross things for sure). For example, I bought chicken wings to make coke chicken wings for potluck. Right beside where they put the chicken wings on the ice, they have the crown of the rooster. I didn't know that part is edible (and I wouldn't want to eat that at all).
Then I was with my co-worker. We had some snack sitting beside a pond in the nearby university. It was quite peaceful with many different types of birds flying by. We went to get some Great wall wine and went back to the apartment. We just hung out a bit before going to the Fish Hot Pot.
Fish hot pot is one of my favorite food here in YC. Whenever I am craving for good fish, that's the place I would want to go. The restaurant was packed with locals. Luckily we got a table and had our wonderful meal. I was super stuffed and went to grocery store with another co-worker.
So it was a laid-back YC night.

SUN Oct. 23
Me and my roommate were cleaning our place and moving furnitures around in preparation for the potluck in the morning. She made chilli and cornbread and I made fried rice noodle and coke chicken wings. I also went to the school for a bit to make a chapter test (but I didn't finish making it).
The potluck started around 5:30. Here's the list of food that we had:
-chilli and cornbread
-fried rice noold and chicken wings
-fried noodle
-deviled eggs and cinnamon buns
-dumplings
-fried indonesian rice and ginger chicken
-sushi
-cucumber salad, melon and ginger (very refreshing dish)
-chinese buns and seaweed salad
-tuna sandwich

It was just a great party with good food and everyone seemed to have a lot of fun.
1st ever Potluck party Success!

Now need to be prepared for the crazy work week tomorrow.
We will have our Halloween party on Friday and Sports day on Saturday!
So it'll be a long week! But I know I am up for it!!

    YC I guess it's interesting as it still has that small developing Chinese town feeling.
