On the second day of the New Year in p>2119, after a day's bus ride, I moved from Dashi to dodoma. The new year, a new starting point, foreign life seems to open another door, and everything is brand-new!
dodoma's home is in a big yard, with 6 households, surrounded by green trees and cicadas, which is safe and harmonious. We live in Room 4, and No.5 and No.6 are two Indian neighbors. When I first arrived, I experienced a dinner in the courtyard on Saturday night. Each family cooked some food and tasted different flavors. Eat and drink, sit on the swing chair and chat together, and share their idea. At the same time, I also learned about some Indian cultures, such as vegetarianism, the status of women, such as inexplicable national self-confidence and so on. In short, every Saturday is a day to talk late. In February, Amit brought back two small local dogs from afar and became a soldier guarding the house in the yard. These two soldiers grew up eating from the same pot. Two dogs will chase, jump and tear in the yard, which adds a lot of vitality to our yard.
When everyone sees a dog, they will stop for a few steps and flirt. Dogs are never picky about food, and no matter what is put on the plate, they will lick it clean. Soon after, a Dutchman moved to Room 1. He was very fond of dogs, and he also trained dogs to sit down and shake hands. It sounded good, but his IQ didn't improve except that he was getting bigger and bigger. He was still a stupid dog, but he was still one of our daily sources of fun. Later, China neighbors came to Room 3, and Nigerians moved to Room 2. Six families are full, which is a small "United Nations".
In the 4th Tanzanian Chinese Song Contest, the students I took lost in the preliminary contest. Probably, the students were too competitive. The students were particularly cold about Chinese songs, and they could get high at a random rhythm. All the children sang well and didn't take the students to the finals. So I became the ceremonial reception of the contest, and it was also a disguised publicity of our cheongsam culture. It came to a successful conclusion, and the students all shouted that they would take part in the next singing contest, so they had to practice hard all year.
Soon, our China Year will come, which also means that the real bell will ring in 2119. Confucius Institute has prepared activities to celebrate the New Year. First, a small lecture was given to students about the origin, customs and significance of the Spring Festival, and then different cultural activity corners were held, including Bao jiaozi activities, Chinese knot weaving, dragon and lion dancing experience, tea learning, Tai Ji Chuan drills, etc. How lively it was! Finally, there is a cultural performance. As one of the most important festivals of China people, it is our mission and duty-bound for Chinese communicators to convey the traditions, culture, customs and positive spirit of our festivals to foreigners.
On New Year's Eve, Chinese in dodoma get together for the Spring Festival to celebrate the New Year. We ate a lot of delicious dishes, such as chicken, duck, fish and crab. Of course, jiaozi is indispensable. It is the symbol of the festival and the taste of home. Life abroad is not so lonely.
outdoor barbecue. In sunny weather, it couldn't be more pleasant to have a barbecue with three or five friends at the lake. Early in the morning, we began to prepare, from cutting meat, curing bacon and skewering meat to lighting a fire and spreading materials, and participated in the whole process with high energy. The mutton was freshly killed in the morning, which was especially fresh. We also bought chicken wing sausage and cotton candy from dodoma, where the materials were limited. The cotton candy was super delicious, soft and waxy, and even tasted like ice cream. After several rounds of barbecue, I caught up with the fishermen and bought some fresh shrimps, which were extremely delicious. At this time, when you are full, it is best to go to the lake for two laps, blow the wind and see the surrounding scenery, which will soon be integrated with the scenery.
The barbecue by the lake lasts from noon to dusk, and you can go home before sunset. Red Boluo Lake has become particularly gentle in the afterglow of the sunset, which makes people intoxicated. This outdoor activity, which combines enjoying the beautiful scenery, relaxing, getting in touch with nature, enjoying delicious food, toasting together and gathering with friends, makes people linger.
After the transfer, Yong Fang and Shuangshuang and I lived together by fate. Writing in the middle of the night, the most memorable thing is the silhouette of the three of us together, lamenting the wonderful fate, and extremely reluctant to part with the small family we run together. As if we had just arrived in dodoma, we groped for our little life together: three novice drivers learned to drive, one was driving, and the other two, while watching the road and cars, encouraged the drivers to say, Wow, that's great! It's a good drive. Keep refueling, so everyone is getting more and more skilled at driving. Three people buy food and cook together, no matter who cooks what food, everyone will say delicious at first bite, and it is really delicious (haha); When we want to have a cat, we will start at any time when we want to go out and improve our food. When we want to entertain our friends, we will make a sumptuous meal together, sing together when we want to sing, drink together when we want to drink, and talk to each other when we want to chat.
We have been encouraging, praising and supporting each other, integrating into each other's lives, and even gradually, when others ask questions, they will respond at the same time: Huh? The other side's stalk is easy to receive, and even the laughter will occur at the same time. I want to record more details about our little family and our little stories, but I find that I have filtered out a lot of things in my mind, but I don't know what to record. So I thought, instead of remembering the details, I remembered those little stories and details, and we lived together for six months, which made the three of us become a whole. When others think of one, they can think of the other two (it sounds strange like conjoined twins's), and we also have a tacit understanding that belongs to each other.
It was March when my neighbors in China moved in. Meeting them was one of the luckiest things for me in dodoma. Brother Liang, Sister Helen and Brother Chen Moge originally lived in House No.3, because Sister Helen's husband was in the United States, and she needed to stay for half a year to get a green card. In April, she went back to the United States to make up time. She is handsome and decisive, actually a very young woman, pays attention to a refined life, and insists on exercising every day, which makes me like and yearn for it. After my sister went to America, it was Brother Liang and Brother Chen Mo who were at home. We lived across the hall and often went to their house. Brother Chen Moge is particularly like Deng Chao, and Brother Liang is particularly like Yang Liwei. Both * * * are outstanding talents who love their families and their actions are far greater than verbal promises, and they also have their own personalities. To say the difference, Brother Liang is a very serious person, while Brother Chen Mo is a little Buddhist. Brother Liang loves tea very much, and he also loves to invite people to drink tea. He is probably my beginner in tea drinking. He teaches us how to know and taste tea, what kind of tea needs how much water, green tea in the morning and black tea in the evening, etc. Master leads us in, practices personally, and enjoys the fun of drinking tea. To choose from Brother Liang's tea, Brother Liang said that he prefers Jin Junmei (of course, he likes all the tea in his refrigerator), and both said that Tieguanyin tastes very fragrant. My favorite tea at present is Anji White Tea, which Amway gave to the basin friends who saw here.
We chatted together and learned a lot from them. We will play landlords together and adopt a scoring system. If we lose, we will be punished by sports, and they will improve the intelligence of many landlords. Recently, Brother Chen Moge returned to China, and I, Shuangshuang and Brother Liang "fought" more frequently. As a result, Brother Liang crushed us. Of course, Shuangshuang and I also did more squats. I also set up a song-ordering machine to turn my home into a KTV private room from time to time to release myself. The most important thing ... or go to their home Ceng rice. What spicy incense pot, mutton soup, braised mutton, cumin mutton, saute spicy chicken, braised beef, Regan Noodles, Lamian Noodles, rice noodles, cold rice noodles, gluten, fried noodles, Chinese hamburger, fried pork bun, steamed pork bun, jiaozi, etc., three times a day, I eat white and fat, so I won't tell you. We will go to Hut for dinner. I know, I know. In early June, I set up a weight-loss Flag in my circle of friends. I admit that Flag fell down successfully and couldn't get up.
When you meet good neighbors and comfortable people, you will enjoy your time together, learn from their bright spots and listen to some life experiences of people who have been there. Being fat, um ... is probably an unexpected added value.
In the Chinese Bridge Competition, the top two middle school students in Tanzania will go to China to participate in the Chinese Bridge Competition for middle school students all over the world on behalf of Tanzania. The competition is divided into three parts: answering questions, speaking in Chinese and talent show. Join hands with Chinese to build a dream for the future. Each contestant told his story in his speech about the origin of learning Chinese, and firmly believed that learning Chinese well can definitely build a dream for the future. This time is probably our proudest moment, and I also believe that students learning Chinese well will definitely contribute to the future. Xiao Fangfang and I prepared an entertainment performance to show our students the energetic teacher, which is probably different from the seriousness in class. The students shouted and applauded desperately under the stage, which was a very precious experience.
small animals are really not raised as expected. We adopted two kittens in March. Cats are more delicate than dogs. Since they came to our house, the two cats have been carefully raised. Their cat litter is the soil in the yard, which should be changed frequently. Cats have to clean up all kinds of things in the house. After the Indian neighbors vaccinated the dog in the yard, we quickly asked the doctor to give the cat two shots, and we didn't know what kind of vaccine we had. I found that cats had bugs (originally thought to be fleas, but later found to be a local bug), and I didn't know it was normal until I asked them. Later, I asked the doctor to give them an insect repellent vaccine. Although cats are very artificial, we still love them. By default, Dahuang, the male cat, is the elder brother and Huahua, the female cat, is the younger sister. My brother and sister are very close. If my brother is in the house and my sister is outside, my brother will always make a miserable cry until he lets her in. When he sees each other, he will kiss and lick each other and love each other very much. When two cats see us, they will jump far away and chase after us, rubbing back and forth around us to show their intimacy; I am curious when I see anything, and I can't help but explore. I can play with a small paper ball for a long time; When you are hungry, you will lie prone at the door or meow around you. Cats will fall asleep in unexpected positions such as resting on their thighs and sprawling, and they will squint at the sun and enjoy bathing. When the rhubarb cat walks, the two legs behind it are still "inside the eight characters", and every time I see it, I can't help laughing. Just now, rhubarb scratched both hands, and then scratched my thumb (unintentionally), but I couldn't hate them, but worried that it was time to cut their nails tomorrow.
Their clingy characteristics, funny expressions, funny sleeping postures, constant curiosity and clean nature all make people feel very cute!
After raising these two puppies, they not only give us companionship, but also add a lot of joy and feel a sense of trust and dependence. I'm even curious about the world of cats, a life, a living method.
our group, one after another, is saying goodbye, and some have already returned to China. No matter how far away we are, we are all flowers of luxury, and we are all blooming seriously.
you and I have gone far away together for the same dream. You and I have been together for a short time and separated for a long time. One day in the future, we will find that we are proud of ourselves. One day in the future, we will witness the shining of the Chinese dream and the pursuit across Qian Shan, and our hearts are still full of strength. In a corner of the world, there is a place where you and I are seriously blooming, and the flowers of the house are blooming.
If we turn back the hands of time and go back to the first day when we came to dodoma, we both got off the bus with big bags and small bags, and looked at Yang Mengsi who was driving to pick us up in confusion. At that time, I must be looking forward to letting time pass more slowly. How time flies for half a year! How grateful I am to meet you in dodoma, and to decorate my youth in my mid-twenties.
