Sketching Fiends

Today was a pretty long day, but nothing to exciting happened. We just had a lot of work to do. Metal class was in the morning. We have to make a three piece set of jewelry, and it is all due in three weeks. The slowest part of the process for me seems to be cutting the copper out, so I decided to focus on getting all three of my shapes cut out. I almost made it.













Between classes I went down the road with Matt and Ryan to a "restaurant" we like. The guys made an interesting point about it today. They noted that in America the dining area is at the front of the restaurant, and the kitchen is in the back (most of the time it is out of sight). Here in Taiwan the kitchen is in the front, wide open for everyone to see (and outside), and the dining area is in the back. If we walked by this place back home, there is no way we'd want to eat there. But here, this is one of the better restaurants near the university.

After lunch we had Chinese painting class. Today we painted some trees and mountains. Also, one of the Auburn students had her 21st birthday today and was presented with a pig cake during class. Funny cake, that's all I can say.

Tomorrow we have more sketches due, so that is all I have been up to tonight. Tomorrow we are going to a baseball game after class. The two teams we are going to see are the top two teams in Taiwan, so it sounds like a pretty special game to see.
