Last Thursday, we began to discuss what we will be doing this week. Each day we will be learning about a different area in Asia. First, today we will go to Chinatown to learn about Chinese culture. Tomorrow, we will visit an art museum to learn about Korean art. On Wednesday we will visit an Indian temple. On Thursday and Friday we will visit UPenn to learn about the Middle East and Japan. Each day we will eat the food of a different Asian country. We are very excited to learn about Asian culture throughout the week.
Today we visited a kung fu place where we got to watch the instructors demonstrate kung fu and also show us a dance with a dragon. After this, they taught us a few kung fu moves and let us learn how to beat the drum they used during their demonstration. We then visited a music school where we got to learn about and listen to cool Chinese instruments. Some of us were even able to try playing them. Lastly, we ended the day by eating Chinese food at a small place in the middle of Chinatown.
