December is associated with Christmas, family gatherings at the festive table full of goodies, so we prepared the presentation about Chinese cuisine and eating habits. Another attraction planned for this month was dinner in a Chinese restaurant to taste local delicacies with the use of chopsticks and an interview with a native Chinese chef. We planned to record a film to show our German friends various Chinese dishes and share our impressions.
All students exchanged in the forum ideas which Asian dishes they have ever tried or fancy trying when the occasion arises. We also met in the chat room to exchange Christmas and New Year wishes.

Spring is associated with Nature, therefore we chose just this season to show the last presentation about Nature of China with much focus on the world of fauna & flora, the most amazing landscapes, caves and grottoes. No other country can boast the best landmarks in the world such as the oldest tree - ginkgo, the rarest animal - panda; the greatest canyon Brahmaputra, (504.6 kilometers long and 6,009 meters deep at its deepest spot. Its average depth is 2,268 meters).
