English Par-tay!!

We were nearly partied out this year! We really enjoyed it, though.

We sang, told stories, had games, and just enjoyed the chance to chat!

This was the hugely successful English Party at the school. I don't have my pictures from other parties but will post them when I get a chance.

As usual, the girls were wildly photographed. They were pacified with the sweets (I baked and someone bought western cookies!) as everyone passed them around to get photographs with them. Once it starts, no telling how long it will last! Everyone has a phone with a camera.

This is actually one of our good friends, Emma!

Helping prepare... we got there early to decorate and stuff stockings for prizes.

We usually go to hang out about one night a week. Chloe said "I like it here" and Emma said, "Yeah, they're fun and they can talk English." :)

It's nice to have friends we can virtually hold an effortless conversation with. The students in the Senior class can speak fairly well. Most can understand us, thought it's sometimes a stretch to understand them... But it's also nice to be able to ask questions about how they live, what they like, their holidays, their families, etc.
