Chop that Pig!

The exam period is getting close so my hall organised a Super Pass dinner to encourage everyone to pass with good grades. Pig chopping was a central part of the program. The tradition suggests that the pig is sacrificed to ward off evil spirits in return for personal success.

The first chop.
You are meant to cut right through the pig in one chop, so a bit of force in necessary. The chopping and eating continues until the whole pig is gone.
Chloe was so worried about her eight(!) exams that she found a new pig to chop once we were finished with the first.

Me and my roommate Soya. Notice that I am not wearing the official hall jumper. I am actually surprised I got away with it.

well. let me begin by saying that the little piglet was enjoying its life before lady ho tung hall came about and slaughtered it! shame on you girls! secondly, i think a health and safety assessment is required at this hall as many young and vulnerable girls are putting their hands around when someone is wielding a deadly weapon - a chopping knife!! my services are required. but one thing i will say is i bet that pig was nice! you look stunning babe!
