Hi ! How have you been? I took the toefl exam this Saturday, hope I did well!


On Sunday we went to spend some time at the Cherry Blossom Festival, I've never been to one and I expected a lot, but I don't know if it was because we got there late or what but it was pretty disappointing. We kept looking at the stands but non of them had nothing related to japan but the one that sold koi fishes, bonsais and some food. It was still funny to be there.





The best part for me, was that we could pet some snakes! I do love snakes! It was like a dream for me, I never got the chance to touch or have one on, so I didn't doubt at all.  I imagined that they might feel bumpy - crocodile like - and sticky, but it was incredible soft and smooth.


After the festival we headed to his mom's house, she was doing Jiaozi and we went to help! She cooks them incredible yummy, this time she added mushrooms to the filling, they taste even better! Then I helped to roll, cut and flatten the dough and her mom makes it look really easy, after trying to flat some dough into a round shape I kind of gave up, non of them was round!

I wished I could give you the recipe but we did just assemble everything together and they seem quite difficult to make even if it looks easy. I'm always surprised that at the end there's about 100 Jiaozis in total. Amazing food if you have a lot of guests!
