Sorry for the delay in posting. I have been extremely busy with work and school. I guess I will begin with the last major event. Last Friday, September 10, was Teacher’s Day. The school held a banquet for all of the teachers of Jin Cai at the Eton Hotel www.theetonhotel.com over in Lujiazui (area in pudong). This included the teachers at Jin Cai International Division and the teachers from the local Jin Cai schools.
The hotel was quite amazing. Very beautiful and the banquet room was on one of the upper floors. It seemed like there were 300-400 people there. The banquet began with a long speech in Chinese from the principal over all Jin Cai campuses. Then the foreign teachers had to go on stage. A few more people went on stage and so on. Nothing too amazing there. Every table had a lazy susan. We began our meal with jelly fish, chopped chicken and beans, mushrooms, and some other things but I was not too sure what they were. Each time the water came to our table he brought a new dish. A few of the dishes served were pork with tons of fat, chicken with the head, beef, broccoli, salad, fruit, and tons of other stuff. I am now forgetting what we were served.
The most memorable…or not so memorable…part of the night was the wine. We drank so much! I think my table must have had close to 8 bottles of wine. We went to tables and said “ganbe!” The banquet ended around 8:30 and then others went to the bars to drink some more. I went home and just relaxed. I was a bit tipsy when I left the hotel. Overall it was a good night.
再见！！！
