niupai - steak

On Saturday we had a party at the park! Most of the people from the Kaiyin and the Shiqi group joined. We first started our party by singing in the shuttle while we were headed to the park. Taylor Swift was definitely a crowd-pleaser, so we continued singing after we got a big applause from singing Our Song. Once we got to the park and layed out our belongings we immediately had Asians on all sides of us watching our every move. Staring at white people seriously never gets old to the Chinese. We played football and ultimate Frisbee. During our Ultimate Frisbee game an Asian gym couch joined us. He was actually really good at playing and said "Let's go!" in his cute Asian accent every time it was kickoff. Then James, Noah and John set up their slack-line. They are really good at slack-lining so I was trying to learn, but it takes a lot of balance! Of course once the slack-line was setup the Asians turned it into a community slack-line. Once the slack-line got crowded with Asians we started having hand-stand competitions, playing ninja, building human pyramids, flying our kites and playing twisted twister. Pretty much anything you can think of, we did it at the park....it was a perfect day! A little later in the afternoon we started playing games with a big group of Asians students. The students were college aged so most of them could speak decent English. I played their version of hacky-sack with this weird weight thing with feathers attached to it. Some of my other friends were playing a card game with the Asains. The person with the lowest card had to sing a song, do a crazy dance, or kiss someone! Our visit with the Asians eventually turned into an awesome "talent battle". We first began by teaching them the macarena and the totty ta dance, then we gathered in a big circle as one of the Asians did a little dance for us. They also had a guy show us his kung-fu moves, so we obviously had to show off and do our kung fu moves for them. Then we performed a few of our dances we will be doing for our Halloween party at school. To add to our talent battle James did a handstand on his skate board while rolling down the sidewalk. We also built another human pyramid which really impressed them! After we had gone all out they pulled two girls from their group who were models and said they would show us a model walk. They did their sassy little number, so obviously Hayden and Noah had to mimic their sassy model walk. We eventually had to go our separate ways, but we all quickly became friends with them! It was an awesome day.
