Robert's School celebrated it's 9th Birthday yesterday with a Fancy Dress Performace Party for all the staff. The Chinese staff had been practising dance routines for weeks, but the foreign teachers only heard about the party 3 days beforehand. Most already had other plans and couldn't come.
However, I managed to cobble something together. Ava lent me an old wig and I turned up as "Yao Ming's Mother". Yao Ming is the most famous Chinese basketball player. At one point I was dragged into a dance contest [see photo above], winning a tube of toothpaste as a consolation prize! However, my rather odd clothes did later win me a £20 prize for "Most Unusual Costume"! Robert and Rachel [my bosses, photo right] came as Mr Darcy and... whoever Darcy's other half was (I must have missed that day at school!).
The various branches of Robert's School now employ over 90 staff and teach 4000+ students each week. It's doubled in size in the 3 years I've been there - an impressive feat considering the world economy and increased local competition. More photos below:
