Afterward, we learned about Chinese instruments such as the erhu and pipa. I tried to play the erhu, which is a two-stringed instrument with a bow. It is harder than it looks. Later, our whole group learned to play the ocarina. I was so excited. It is actually very easy to learn, and we all played several songs, including "You are my Sunshine," "Happy Birthday," and "Amazing Grace." We make a pretty good ocarina band.

Calligraphy and Ocarinas
A few weeks ago, we had another Chinese culture class. We learned how to write Chinese calligraphy. I have done this before, but I still am pretty bad at it. I just do not know how much ink to put on my brush.
