Teaching and Leisure Activities

The first day of our teaching activities at Honghe University started with frenetic applause as soon as we had entered the classroom. That popstar feeling increased during the break when the entire classroom took one picture after another.

Although the level of English of the first semester students is rather low, they tried their best to understand Annika, who held the lesson, and took the opportunity to actively participate in class.
In the afternoon, we visited the Honghe Prefecture Museum, which exhibits several different pieces of art from the Chinese culture.

Afterwards, we enjoyed probably the most popular soup in Mengzi which is called Rice noodles over the Bridge. You get a huge bowl with hot water and several little bowls and plates with uncooked vegetables, herbs, meat, noodles and spices. Then you can show which cooking skills you have by throwing all the different ingredients in the bowl and cooking them in the hot water.
