The first of the wedding guests!

Daan's 大伯 (father's oldest brother, pronounced da4 bai1 by the family) and 大妈 (father's oldest brother's wife) travelled from Gansu to Xinjiang to attend our wedding.
We went to pick them up from the train station.


A food stall near the train station. They sell "sheep's head, sheep's stomach, sheep's hooves. You can see the sheep's stomach on the tray on the left.  

At the train station

There's 大伯 in the middle.

大妈 over on the left. We were having corn and beans (home grown) as an afternoon snack. The corn in Xinjiang is really substantial and not sweet at all, not like the types we eat in Singapore and Malaysia.

Notice Daan is not in any of the pictures. He does NOT like to eat corn. His family was poor when he was young, so they did not always have wheat noodles/buns to eat. Daan ate a lot of home-grown corn, so if given a choice now, he doesn't eat corn.
