Happy New Year Celebration.....with the Teachers!

The ENGLISH teachers 
from Chongqing No. 8 Middle/High Schools 
had a big, fancy holiday celebration at the end of 2010.  Great fun, food, and fellowship!

Here are Senlin (guy in charge) and some of the English teachers of  "Senior One Class", with whom we work every day! 
Here are most of the English teachers from Senior 1, 2, and 3..... located at three different campuses within the city.
Here are most of the Chongqing No. 8  English teachers, from both Junior and Senior schools, located on four different campuses.
Notice how YOUNG so many of our colleagues are!
Most teachers have chosen English names:  Yolanda, Traci, and Ivy.
Junior School teachers......We teach with them twice each week.
Beverly, our "foreign teacher coordinator" at the Junior School.
ALL of our colleagues are friendly and helpful......and, also very busy, with an educational system so focused on student exam scores.
With several teachers, each day is like a fashion show!  Notice the above-the-knee Leather Boots that are so popular here!
The party and dinner took place on the lower level of the new Chongqing Opera House. 
Of course, my favorite place at the buffet was the SALAD  BAR....This is the food I miss most of all!
The buffet specialized in these little rope-wrapped crabs, but I'm "going vegetarian" here in China.
I got talked into wearing "celebrity sunglasses" and singing "Desperado" at the party......(good thing the background noise in the restaurant was pretty loud.)
