First day of school

Well, the first day of school came today. At 8:00 I walked to the school (5 minutes away) and got to my class. 3 hours of teaching English to 11 students. It was quite interesting to say the least. The kids were very outgoing. Each of them have English names (Deborah, Anna, Kaitlyn, Conner, etc.). One boy didn't have one so I gave him the name "Bob" (wonder why?)
I shared my story and life and they were all amazed at our multi-national family. I shared some music (great way to learn English). I thought the "beatles" would be a hit but no kid had a clue who they were (this is not your father's generation). Most loved Korean pop music (we'll find that out on Friday).
My father-in-law called me on skype during the middle of class. So at break time the kids got to practice their English on someone half way across the world. They were all amazed.
All in all it was a success and I think they enjoyed it. One kid shared with me some of his music which was what I liked as well. After class we talked a bit about the real "important things" of life. I could tell he was glad I knew where he was coming from.

On another note...I've learned a great Chinese proverb today. It goes like this, "Tall man with kid on shoulders need to duck low in China while walking under doorways" (sorry Jack!)
