During the event, the students could get acquainted with Chinese language by learning some useful expressions, such as greeting: Ni hao! Moreover, they could learn to eat with chopsticks. What is more! Those who could pick the Ping-Pong balls with chopsticks and move from one bowl to the other could win a mug as well. At another stand, students could paint Beijing Opera masks, and also, next to this stand they were able to make Chinese meat balls, which were later cooked and then eaten by the students. At each stand, students could collect stamps to their certificates. Last but not least, the most popular stand was the “dressing corner”, where students could try some traditional Chinese wedding dresses and take a photo. Those who were not brave enough made some selfi posing photos with the Chinese colleagues of the Institute.
