"Lao Xiang"
Obviously this is a Chinese term, referring to "people from hometown".It is a great day today. The highlight was an email I got from Wei Xing, a Chaozhou native, my "lao xiang"! Aparrently, he tried google "chaozhou, USA" (Chaozhou is a coastal city in Guangdong Province where I was born in). Then he found my blog and sent an email to me. I felt we are so connected, and we actually shared things about our study backgrounds, hometown and what are we doing in the US, and of course in our hometown dialect! I think it should be a great experience for Wei Xing to find a "lao xiang" here, in the same State, too, as he told me he is the only Chaozhou native in Syracuse, NY. I hope our life will cross somehow and meet each...
Besides, I had a great afternoon at work, too. A Chinese colleague of ours treated us fried dumplings which were delicious; then we had an ice-cream party in the company. The Cold Stone ice-cream was great! I had a big scoop - my favorite strawberries plus coffee, with oreo and fresh strawberries mixed in it...yummy!
