To celebrate the Laba Festival on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, forty cooking-lovers at Yihe Residential Community in Suzhou Industrial Park enjoyed a potluck, making new friends and exchanging cooking experience.

Joshua Dickson from Australia was impressed by "Goldfish Meeting", an hors d'oeuvres prepared by Ms. Ji Xiuzhen, and asked his new friends to pose for camera with the dishes they made. He said he would send these pictures to his parents back home in Australia so that they would know Chinese food was delicious and he had many friends here.
