4th International foods festival

This story I still cannot believe that this happened. The other day a couple of freinds and I were sitting in a restaurant eating dinner with our teacher. While we where there she got call it was from someone asking if she knew any foreigners who were free on Saturday. We said sure they wanted us to go around and try a few new restaurants and some of there dishes because they where the sichuan style restaurants. So five of us met up at 9 o'clock on Saturday to go test these restaurants out. We first went to the local news paper the Chengdu daily times. There we met some reporters and some other people one of them turned out to be a famous actor and the other a famous food critic. So there we where 5 hungover college students going to 3 of the nicest restaurants in Chengdu with a TV news reporter and 2 famous guys. When we would get to the restaurants the only people that would sit down would be us and the 2 famous guys to try the food. and there would be about 15 people standing around the table watching us and taking pictures. They tried to give us chopstick lessons and everything it was quite comical. Again there was not real reason for us to be there besides the fact that we where foreigners. It turnes out we did make the local news here at 7 O'clock because they filmed all of us saying in Chinese that we loved Chengdu and the food all of which is true but it was still funny. I do not know how this stuff happens but it seems like there is always something weird like this going. I still cannot believe this happened if I had not been there I do not think I would have believed it.
