Danny’s cousin Hanley and his wife Yao visited from the states. Yao’s family lives in Shanghai. We met them and their whole family for a Chinese banquet style lunch at a restaurant near Yao’s family’s apartment. There wasn’t much food I could eat, as is normally the case at a Chinese banquet but her family was really friendly. They were all excited because it was the first time most of them had met Hanley since they have been married for less than a year.
After lunch we went to her parents’ house to chat for a while. Most of Yao’s cousins spoke decent English although in her parents’ generation none of them spoke much. I had been really curious to see what local people’s homes are like. Their place had a lot of traditional Chinese furniture and decorations. It was really nice.
