English Competition and Oops, We Did it Again!

Today the school had it's annual English competition for the Chinese English teachers.

We had 28 teachers from from the Junior 1 2 an 3 grades.
It took about 2 and a half hours.
It started about 9am.

I teach the junior 1 students, so some of these teachers I haven't had the chance to talk with very much.
So this was the first time to hear some of them speak (English).
I was very impressed to say the least.

Each teacher gave a short speech on the subject of their choice.

This is Rebeca....she was a little nervous at first but calmed down and did great.



The headmaster even gave a short speech.




The judges section.


More judges.



Forest even gave a short...well I wouldn't call it a speech.
A short story that was very animated!


Oops, We Did it Again!


About 5pm we all met at the same place that we went to 2 nights before.

Oh, No!!!

He comes the Oops we did it again part!!
Another evening drinking and eating.
This evening I had to take it easy though.
First off, I only drank beer.
Second I didn't drink that much.
The time before I was drinking red wine.
The beer here has a very low alcohol content.
So here are some MORE party pictures.




I don't know what he said but it MUST have been funny!!



This is Carl.
He's the guy who took me to the hospital for my shoulder x-rays.
One heck of an interpreter.
I gave him a hand with his speech a few days before the competition.




Vicky and Monica.


This is Charlies....That's not a typo.(s)


As the party winds down.


She's not passed out...Just resting her eyes.


What a great bunch of teachers!

My buddy Forest.



Rebeca, myself and Vicky




CHEERS!!




At least I won't have a hangover tomorrow!

But I know some people will.
