Chinese welcome year of the monkey
Last week on 21 January, the Chinese community in Wageningen celebrated their New Year at Unitas, with a party organised jointly by Unitas and ISO-W. Although the party was open to everybody, most of those attending were Chinese, as was most of the programme.
For many students, it was the first time that they had celebrated the Spring Festival abroad. First-year MSc students Cao Jia and Lu Lei missed the traditional food most. “Everybody is very friendly here, that’s not the problem. But it’s a family occasion,” said Cao Jia. | Yvonne de Hilster
