Welcome Bing Dinner

Tonight was the welcome Bing dinner and at the end of the quarter, there will be one more farewell Bing dinner. For anyone who does not know who the Bing family is, they are large endorsers of Stanford and especially the abroad programs. They understand that college kids don't have a lot of money so they provide two dinners and two weekend trips in the foreign countries that students would probably not be able to afford on their own. Next weekend is the first trip and we are all flying down to Concepcion in the south of chile for the long weekend. Then, later in february we're going to the coast for one of the biggest festivals of the year, Vina del Mar.

The Bing dinner was great and was held at Akarana which was actually a New Zealand restaurant. The food was amazing and the dessert was even better. Before hand, I arrived early so a couple of friends and I went to hang out in the Ritz Carlton which was right next to the restaurant. haha. we didn't stay long cause we didn't feel like getting kicked out but it was fun anyways.
