One of the best things about living in China are the delicious dumplings. My driver (Xiao Xiao) invited me (Maria) to his mom's house for lunch and she made chicken dumplings. I had the privilege of making a few myself, with her help of course. :)
Of course I sucked at it! But they seemed delighted that I was at least tyring. :) They kept saying that is was a "Special Moment", having an American in their home making dumplings. I would just smile and nod, happy that they were feeding me. :)
I was very honored though to have been invited, when a Chinese person invites you to their home it's a HUGE deal, they go far and beyond to make you feel welcome. And they feed you like you will not eat again for days! haha

Oh yeah, and we made the dumplings in the living room on top of a coffee table. That was interesting.
