Of course, next to China Day, North America Day is probably the most popular day of culture week. No wonder –
- Most foreign teachers don’t need to teach on Fridays, which means they have plenty of time for games and fun activities.
- It’s about America, and of course it’s a pride thing to make sure America is well represented.
Right after lunch, I made my tour of the square and I was quite entertained by what I saw …
- My Canadian friends organized a street hockey game. And probably the most interesting part of all was when the students saw the hockey sticks and asked us what they were for! So, I learned today that the average Chinese person doesn’t have a clue what hockey is! Of course, once they started playing, the students figured things pretty quickly.
- Lady Gaga & Lady Liberty posing back to back, and the students (though clueless as to who those figures were) loved to pose with them for a photo opportunity.
Saying Thanks …
Finally, I don’t want to forget to say that I’m thankful today for the pretty colors of autumn I’m finally able to see all around campus.
