It was the first Residence Hall Leaders' Meeting after Christmas break and the first one for this semester. So we were going around sharing what we did over the break.
TommiLee: Our family had a Chinese Night. We had Chinese food and Chinese tea. I don't know what's it called, but we had this thing that is wrapped in seaweed.
Dorcas: Er... I don't think that's Chinese. It's most probably Japanese food.
TommiLee: Oh, really? Anyway, we dressed up as Chinese too!
Rachel: Oh! What did you guys wear?
TommiLee: We all had Kimonos on!
Dorcas: Erm... Kimono is Japanese too.
(Girls laugh)
TommiLee: Oh well, it's just an inter-cultural night then.
Natalie: Maybe you can call it South East Asia Night!
Dorcas: Well, actually, neither China nor Japan is part South East Asia.
Natalie: (blushes) Oops, sorry!
Well, this is American Geography for you.
*Please take note: Kimonos and Sushis are Japanese, and there are 10 countries in South East Asia, but Japan and China are NOT in the list!
