Pumpkin Carving at the Sinology Institute

For the holiday we wanted to do something festive so I worked my magic and searched online to find an event. I came across a activity called Pint and Pumpkins. The event cost 40 yuan and included a pumpkin, carving materials, a beer, snacks, and you got to work with a teacher on Chinese. We ventured a few stops on the subway and found this place in a little alley way. We had a good time carving pumpkins and would have had a great time socializing but the people were just bragging about where they have traveled and how much money they make and so on and so on. It was too much for us to deal with so we stuck to ourselves. We did meet one guy that was very nice and actually was from North Carolina, right outside where Ally and her family use to live.
