Last week it was Teacher Appreciation Day in Vietnam. Our school was decorated with a huge banner and flowers in the main lobby. Kids brought us gifts like it was Christmas. I received chocolate, face wash, body scrub, lotion, perfume, fancy hair pin, a bracelet, and a beautiful lotus lantern lamp. John got things like cuff links, flowers, chocolate, and a gift certificate to a fancy restaurant. One of my friends got cold hard cash!
In the afternoon there was a ceremony for the whole school. All the teachers assembled in a circle and some high school students came to us each to hand out flowers. I felt like I was at a rose ceremony on "The Bachelor." They should have asked us "will you accept this rose?" ... ha ha! We also got a gift certificate for a grocery store from the Vietnamese school owners.
Anyway, the funny thing was that when all the teachers were down in the rose circle, the kids were in the stands unsupervised. I looked over and the little kids were going a bit crazy with their newfound freedom. Oh well. Happy Teachers' Day!!
