After 6 years in Shanghai, I will help a friend host a Bachelorette Party. She was one of my students, and she is going to get married in the United States in Fall. I have been aware of her meeting this boy since early in their relationship and we have a lot in common as he is American and I am too. So we often talk about these things.
At the going away dinner that was not Xinjiang Food, we talked about wanting to go to a gay bar, but we always never do that. In fact, there are 4-5 of my friends who always seem interested. Stephanie also started asking about a Bachelorette Party and what other American customs she should know about weddings. I thought she would enjoy this kind of event, so we decided to go ahead and do it. Considering there is only one day to plan, everything will be thrown together at the last minute. Penis cookies are in the oven as we speak.
For many of the Chinese people who attend, it will be the first time they go to a bar, the first time they go to a gay bar, and certainly the first time they attend a Bachelorette Party.
It seems exciting to me to share a little of my culture before going back. I think the Post 80s generation is ready for it.
