OC International Student News November 2019 We went to the haunted house as an International Club event. I have been there before, but this time was scarier than last time. We screamed a lot because it was dark, and the ghosts were too creepy. We were especially spooked when we encountered the chainsaw man! But we enjoyed that time from start to finish. I’d like to go there again. - Rina from Japan. 擂茶 is a special type of beverage that mixes grain, rice, tea leaves, and different kind of nuts. It is pronounced “Lei Cha.” “Lei” stands for grinding, “Cha” stands for tea. It a typical Hakka beverage in Taiwan. Back in the days, people live in poverty, to treat their guests a better meal, they came up with the idea to put rice and other ingredients into tea and ground them together before adding in hot water. The history of Lei Cha can trace back to the Three Kingdoms period in China, 220-280AD. Lei Cha has a thick consistency and layers of flavor from different combinations of ingredients. There are a few different ways of consuming it, other than drinking it, people often add rice in it along with other salty ingredients. - Yen from Taiwan Vincent (China) Jack (China) Office of International Education & Study Abroad Audrey (Macau) Kyuta (Japan) Building 10 (BSC), Room 117 1600 Chester Avenue | Bremerton, Danny (Taiwan) Elisa (Taiwan) WA 98337-1699 | 360.475.7412 Olympic College does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, disability, sexual orientation, or age in its programs and activities. .
