A few weeks ago, we were invited to the art room for a calligraphy lesson. It sounded like a lot of fun and I was really excited to take part in this traditional Chinese art form. Calligraphy is not easy..even for a Chinese person, let alone a foreigner who can't write Chinese. It took a lot of practice to try and get the characters right, but the rest of the interns and I were able to create some beautiful masterpieces that say 我爱中国 (wo ai zhong guo- I love China)
