Loud, Quick, Musical Chinese Wedding and more Dog Meat

some of the food, heavily stacked. And the long car ride to the couple's home. No pictures of the couple themselves, because I spoke about zero words to her before she disappeared.
Don't tell my team leader, though at least this time I didn't actually eat the dog meat.
So my student who lives near the school invited me to another wedding at his house. Last time it was his cousin, this time it was his sister, which means I got to see her for a full ten seconds before piling back into a van with the other teachers to go back to the student's house and eat an amazing array of meat.
His mom and her helpers came into the room again and again with metal plates of food that had to be stacked in piles on the table: pigeon soup, eel, whole duck, chicken feet, pig intestines, turtle, dog, shrimp and crab. My Filipino colleagues gave me some gems on the art of eating crab, saying, "This one is female; they are more delicious but higher in cholesterol," and, "I like to sip the legs," which I thought was a slightly poetic yet accurate description of how to get the meat out.

After we were appropriately full, my student insisted that we sing, but we were in a quandary as to what song all of us could sing, or at least most of us. We settle on "beat it."
