    This hike was a great way to get people together, get to know new & old friends, practice a little Zhongwen, learn a little more about Chinese culture and hear about what's going on in China and in the Chinese community here.

    Damn! I am so impressed with the hikers who showed up today. Personal note, Ken was a very quiet contributor to making this a successful day, thanks Ken!

    The ski lift ride was pretty cool and thanks to Jay we got a huge discount. All of us made it all the way to the top and back on our own legs! We hang out for a while at the restaurant after the hike. Big thank you to all those who attended, I had so much fun! The views of both basins was stunning. Watch our pictures and videos! :D

    Goood Mandarin practice. The chocolate yogurt was pretty good! Plus we found another Lucky Baldwin's for future after-hike events!

    Was nice to see and chat with all the new people who came out...

    The food is OK, but it's too noisy for any decent conversation, if we want to talk to each other. It's my first time to meet everybody FINALLY, I think it's very cool and can be serious group for Mandarin/English languages exchange. Frankly speaking, I do feel the dinner bill is a little bit too much even for all dishes sharing.

    This time I ate more than before! We were officially handed out the VIP by Ancle Yu! Great times meeting everyone!

    It is very nice for the first time. The quality of sound is clear using Skype. Next time we can try with a simple agenda and goals/functions to achieve from the meetup chat. :)

    We started on a rough start in that all of us were getting familiar with the new classroom environment. I was happy to hear the voices of our teacher, Hugo, and the rest of the students. I am sure that next class we will be able to cover much more material.

  • Marc
    The Webex connection didn't work very well and as I student, I didn't get much of a chance to speak Chinese. I would prefer a more verbal interaction in the future.

    I like the format. I had problems with my mike, but solved it afterwards.
