Hanson’s impressive display of dishes, each one colorful and aromatic. Hanson’s family eagerly awaits to eat while they take photographs of the successfully prepared meal.

Hanson’s entire family comes together to make ten dishes every year. The meals consist of classic Chinese foods, including fish. Sometimes Hanson even incorporates an innovative Western dish into his dinner, which is a fun activity for the family. His parents live nearby, so he was able to go home over the weekend and participate in the annual cooking tradition.
Hanson thinks it would be nice to see more decorations, as he feels that even for Christmas or Halloween, Webb does not put up many decorations. He would love to see red banners or lanterns around campus.
“It feels weird not being able to hang out with my cousins, as we usually hang out during New Years, but that’s okay,” Hanson said. “I called them and it’s good to know we’re still having fun although we’re across the sea.”
