Our Practice Teaching Ends :-(

Kim and I taught our last class on a Monday. Our co-teacher invited us to have dinner with the entire faculty that evening. Much to our surprise each of us received a gift made by the students in the school. We were accompanied by members of the PC teaching program staff. Of course being that we are in Thailand - during and after dinner there was karaoke! The thought of getting up in front of a group and trying to sing the words to a popular song has turned my blood cold in the past. But you know what? It is fun! The Thai people love to have fun! An they do it so very well. They don't care that I can't sing worth a lick. They cheer and clap as though Elvis or Elton John had just finished an encore! Tucker (another PC volunteer teacher) and I got up and sang "At the Copacabana" by Barry Manilow. I am certain that we were not very good but no one seemed to notice. I guess that is why we had such a good time.
