Nights Out With My Students

From the beginning, I have been in love with my classes. As you can see from the following pictures, we have had a lot of fun.

These pictures were taken on our last night of class. During class I gave out awards and we played games which they really got into. After class we went out to dinner by the beach where we ate snails and a hot pot. We then headed off to ice cream for dessert! Please yarp that we will be able to hang out again soon because they are a great bunch of kids!

These pictures came from Women's Day which is celebrated October 20th. Our day began with our school taking us out to breakfast and coffee. Later that night, one of my classes gave my a flower arrangement which almost made me cry...I was not expecting anything from students, especially from that class. My last class is in their final days of class so the school had planned an "outdoor" activity. We got to go out to coffee for two hours where we talked a lot and played a few games. After coffee, I was planning on heading home and having dinner but they wanted to keep the night going. We decided to go get some dinner and after ten minutes of trying to get enough helmets and bikes, we headed out. Unfortunately we went out too late and could not find a place that was open. However, that lead to talk of a future dinner plans which I am definitely not opposed to!

I just wanted to make a note that since I was here the first year, I have wanted to take a picture of three people on a motorbike...I think it looks so funny. I finally got my opportunity when we went out to dinner. I could only take two because I was laughing so hard. They looked so funny squished together on one bike.

Karaoke With Our School Staff

So this past Sunday night Nicky, Lily and I were invited to go to karaoke with our staff. We didn't really know how to feel because they had invited a lot of other people we didn't know and so we, or at least I, went in with low expectations. I never really break out of my shell around a bunch of new people so I was not expecting to sing a whole lot....but oh how I was wrong. We ended up having a great night that lasted for three whole hours! From the first song everyone was up and dancing and it did not end until the night was over.

Lily and I starting off the night with "Beat It"


When we sang "My Heart Will Go On" we had some reenactments

This is just an example of how much dancing went on

Khoa and Anh...the girls who work in our office. They are so great!

When we came out of the club we realized it had been raining all night! What a way to spend a rainy night!
