Yes, the group is still going strong. Feel free to bring your favourite Latin book and showcase your Latin flair!
Please keep an eye on the thread for info about our next meeting.
Take care. ;-)

Exactly, it was exciting when I realised that Latin words (also, English words with Latin origins) can also be dissected into different parts - not unlike Chinese words - while each of said parts contributes to the meaning of the word as a whole... and not just composite words, either.
Example:
Antepenult: ante (before) + pen (paene: almost) + ult (ultimus/ultima: last) = the syllable before the "almost last", therefore the third-from-last syllable.
No results found.
The owners have obviously put a lot of effort into creating a unique, nostalgic style for Guangzong No. 3 through the design and decoration. Apparently, all those allegedly antique items cost money!
Also, the Wi-Fi there is the fastest compared to other restaurants and cafes in the area.
However, they really need to improve the variety of foods & drinks they offer and what really seriously bothered me was that, as the owners appear to be a bunch of students with extra money and time to spare, they are naturally NOT very service-conscious.
Last time my wife and I were there, their puppy relieved itself on the wooden floor, then the pee just sat there on the floor for like, two hours. Until one of the girls (not sure if an owner or waitress) came into the room and quickly went back out announcing, "The puppy has PEED! The puppy has PEED!". When we thought they'd finally noticed it and were about to do something about it... then, nothing?! She just made a public announcement upon her exciting discovery and that's it? Bovina Sancta!
(of course, the poor neglected puddle had almost completely evaporated, too)
