- [00:00:05.700]Tonight they're having their Chinese New Year celebration here at Selleck Hall.

- [00:00:12.878]So, traditionally we have serving Chinese dumpling.
- [00:00:18.360]They're just taking plates full of them, instead of taking a couple, so it's sort of taken us by surprise.
- [00:00:23.610]There's a lot of people here, it's fun and people are having a good time.
- [00:00:27.481]So if you put that one there...
- [00:00:29.884]So they have calligraphy, they have Chinese food they're serving us.
- [00:00:35.099]Sending post cards back home to your parents.
- [00:00:37.867]It's a fortune telling.
- [00:00:39.966]LAUGHTER
- [00:00:44.282]We have music and games.
- [00:00:45.579]We have chopsticks that you can play with ping-pong balls.
- [00:00:48.595]I already won once, so...
- [00:00:50.697]Whoever comes in I give them one of these red packets.
- [00:00:53.427]It actually signifies good fortune and prosperity.
- [00:00:55.982]Whenever kids like us, we get one from this from our parents, we're really, really happy, because
- [00:01:00.869]usually we get quite a lot of money!
- [00:01:03.793]China is the middle of the world.
- [00:01:07.782]Year by year is more Chinese students coming to UNL.
- [00:01:10.718]So it's really important for us to tell you guys what we really are.
- [00:01:15.415]Because learning from the media, from news, is not enough and is maybe not really accurate.
- [00:01:20.018]There's room for lots of misunderstanding between our cultures.
- [00:01:23.835]And the more we can interact with one-another, the more that we can increase understanding
- [00:01:27.659]and have greater relationships.
