| 23rd July 2008 Stephenie | Comfortable London and fantastic Paris - From: Homecoming Sorry for the late comment,John=) I really want to say thank you to you,thank you for organize everything at London and Paris.I really love everything that you prepare,like stay under the London Eye,joined the Gay party,The Lion King,Big Ben,Eiffel Tower etc..=] Everything at London and Paris like the public transport,the street market and the museum also can let us to know more about the western culture,if the tirp like the previous,we can't enjoy that. I think I love London more than Paris,althought they are also a big city,but in London i felt more comfortable and relax.The air at both city was extremely great!When I went back to HK,I felt hot and humid and a little bit unused. Suki is right, I also have the time difference,the time now at HK is 4:08a.m.,but I'm not sleepy=] Anyway,thank you john=] Merci beaucoup,,* | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

First of all, we all came back to Hong Kong safely. Are you happy? I think you must laugh loudly. That laugh must from your heart. Actually, I think you really done a great job. Your unconditional love and enthusiasm make all of us enjoy the tour. You really a wonderful teacher. It is so rare for me to admire someone. Therefore, you should be proud of yourself, Baby John. I knew you may not organize such a study tour next year. For us, it was really a bad news. However, I really understand your decision. It was extremely hard to arrange a trip, especially such a great trip. Above all else, you worried many things. You worried whether we enjoyed the trip or not. You worried we got lost You worried our safety. You really got a lot of things to worry. Without thinking, you were very care about us. Still remember 3 Form 1 students and I got lost on 5th July. I have to apologize that I made you worried. Nonetheless, I need to clarify it was not your (Baby John and Miss Shek) irresponsibility. Both of you didn’t bear responsibility for the unfortunate losing. I think could learn more from this year trip. I meant I not only improve my English Level, but also experience more. I experience their culture and their lifestyle deeply. I experience overseas life by taking public transport (Underground and Bus), eating in a different kinds restaurant including France restaurant, shopping in a rich and poor area and so on. Feeling is fresh, really different this year. I really feel I am growing! Last year, we need to follow the schedule step by step day by day. In the morning, we had lesson mix with student from different countries. After lunch, we had some exciting activities. And then, special bus would take us go home, go to our host home. This year, we had more freedom time. We could do everything we want. We just need to tell John and John would organize for us. At the same time, everyone needed to learn how to take care self. For example, sometimes, we need to cook by self. And we also need to wash clothes by hand. To be frankly, this trip trained us to be independent. That’s another reason I feel I am growing! Baby John, you really done a great job!!!! Thanks for organizing and treating us for many times in expensive restaurant. Thanks so much. I have never met a teacher like you. You really set a great model for me. You know, you are the best teacher in my life. Sherry 21/7/2008 21st July 2008 | FLORA DISNEY. - From: Paris | This is my first time go to disneyland.

They are nice'' The Gay Party was conducted in a cordial atmosphere. Had a very very good atmosphere.

I'm glad you enjoyed the tour :-) It was great having you on it. Wish more 6A students could have joined. 19th July 2008 | Cat Hey!=] - From: Homecoming | Hey,John!I really want to say thank you for this brilliant trip.Since we arrived at London,u started asking one question,"Do u enjoy yourself?"Everytime we answered "Yes!"You will laught happily.It seems the only think you worried was our happiness,(also our safety)it's hard to find a teacher like u to plan everything for us,and just want us to enjoy.Although it's quite tired to walk a long time everyday,the trip still very happy.It's my first time to see a busker,London eye,and firework on Eiffel Tower.Moreover, it's my first time to carry a backpack and left HK.For me, everything is new and funny.Unlike other trip, you let us feel their culture and their lifestyle.It's very nice to walk around London with some friends and have our own lunch!=]I love it.Again, I want ot say thank you to my lovely,sweet teacher,John.=] 18th July 2008 | ozspur - From: Homecoming | Hi Suki I m not sure I understand what you mean by this sentence = .Although it was a bit clouded and a bit discrimination. Do you mean it was crowded = also what do you mean by discrimination = can you explain more I m using a Czech keyboard so its difficult to find the right keys for typing. I m glad you enjoyed the tour and glad you were lucky to get your camera = sill˙ girl o 18th July 2008 | Suki Lo The right lyrics is.... - From: Homecoming | Tower Bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down.... That's what you taught us.=] 18th July 2008 | Suki Lo Missing you John - From: Homecoming | Sorry for the late comment,John=] Unfortunately,i left my camera on the plane. Finally,i called the Air NewZealand and he said the flight crew collected the camera for me,haha. Compare to the study tour I have been before. That's really different,i enjoy the way that we travelled by public transpots.Although it was a bit clouded and a bit discrimination. Also, i have to apologize that we haven't look at the road.We are the oldest student in the trip ,but we are not a good model for the junior students.While you were angry of us,I was really afraid because you have never angry with me,even i haven't hand in your homework.However,we really understand that you were very care about our safety. Honestly, i love all your plan and every activities.And all of us were really enjoy the trip.Actually, i don't really like france because of the attitude of french and hygiene. I know many of us still have a time differences because we chat at last night about 3.00am=] 17th July 2008 | Jack Fantastic Cities--- London and Paris - From: Homecoming | John I have already back to Hong Kong and had a good sleep yesterday.In Chinese we have a word " Read ten thousands books, why not walk ten thousands roads" That is exactly right. Via this trip, we met different culture and visited such a lot of landmarks which I really long for watching like Effiel Towel,Big Ben...etc. Also it is quite meaningful that we travelled by the local public transpots, it is because we can deeply gain those experience and knowledges which we cannot learn from books. It is much better than stay in a coach only. Also, this trip has also intrigue me not only studying hard in English but also learning French.The most unforgettable thing is watching the muscial theatre and the towel was shining during the firework in Paris, it is very romantic. Anyway, I am really enjoy the time in London and Paris very much. Thank you for arranging such a wonderful trip. Merci Bongue! 16th July 2008 | me again - From: Homecoming | Eiffel Tower is falling down, falling down, falling down..... :-) 16th July 2008 | Lita See your smiling faces!! - From: Markets, Madam Tussauds and Food | See how sweet and satisfactory their smiles are! John, all the hard work pays off, right? 16th July 2008 | Lita Mickey John Mouse - From: Paris | What happened to John? Did your wife twist your ears and make them bright red? I don't like the Europe Disney very much as I don'e understand French and the overall mood is quite gloomy to me. But you guys seem to enjoy your visit very much. Good. 16th July 2008 | Lita How lucky you are! - From: The Louvre and Montmatre | Wow, the aviation show is terrific. You guys are really lucky. You all should give a big thank to John, our golden travel agent. BTW, tell u something exciting. The GIA invite all of you to share your learning experience in London and Paris in one of their company's luncheons. Great news, isn't it? 16th July 2008 | ozspur - From: Wet wet wet | They're camera shy - some people turn away whenever I point the camera - more photos with boys will be loaded soon :-) 15th July 2008 | John Man Where are the boys? - From: Wet wet wet | Did you lose them somewhere during the trip? I don't see many photos of them. I only see the girls, Gigi, Suki, Flora, Giga again, Kelly, sometimes Debbie, and then Gigi again... Where are our boys? 15th July 2008 | John Man What a show!! - From: The Louvre and Montmatre | I've never seen a flyover before. I'm sure it's an exciting show. You're so smart to avoid all the crowd in Louvre. 15th July 2008 | John Man Wonderful look! - From: Paris | John, I'm really amazed that you look much bettter in Mickey's costume! I'm sure all students will pay full attention to you during the lessons if you dress like that. Why don't you try it next school term? 14th July 2008 | me - From: Paris | was it the cheapest food or the only food available in disneyland? why did all the students order the same thing? :-) 12th July 2008 | Emily Chiu Skip this if you don't feel like reading it! - From: The Study Tour So Far | From: a long lost person! Dear Mr. Croft, I read about the students having trouble with their flight reservations with Oasis since they wound up. I was a bit concerned about the amount of people and the value they might have had to compensate. Looks like everything went well by reading from your blogs and I am very impressed by your dedication towards my old school for all these years. It's good to know you enjoy teaching here. 10th July 2008 | Lita Chau I love London too!! - From: The Bridge, The Tower and a bit of Culture | How lucky you guys are!! I like watching the musical Lion King very much. If you want to watch another one, why not choose the Phantom of the Opera? It's very good indeed. 10th July 2008 | me 5-1 - From: Wet wet wet | haha 5 -1 again :-) Is that poor brainwashed boy an ar5ena1 fan? 5-1 anytime, anywhere you can. :-) Was it the Lillywhite in Piccadilly circus? And telephone booth! The end ever pic i took in london was by the telephone booth near British museum outside the hostel i stayed. I felt so dumb to open the door trying to get in... It was full of smell of urine....! 7th July 2008 | james - From: What a Gay Day | we are already doing a display board on the tour, to be finished before S1 registration in a few days' time. So thank you for putting the photos on the blog! BTW, How's Camden Market after the fire earlier this year? 7th July 2008 | John Man A beautiful day - From: What a Gay Day | We seldom have a chance to play in the fountain in HK. I wish I were there with them. They look so excited! Madame Tussauds in London is a great place to visit. I'm sure they will take loads of photos with the celebrities. Remember to charge the batteries and enjoy your visit! 6th July 2008 | John Man Walk, walk and more walk... - From: The Study Tour So Far | Jet lag is for old man only, young people are usually not affected. They can sleep through everything, lucky guys. I'm pretty sure they'll all enjoy the trip even they've joined other tours. It's so different this time. 6th July 2008 | Lita Chau What a gay day!! - From: What a Gay Day | John, thanks for uploading the gay photos, I mean you all look so cheerful and happy. The weather is perfect. In HK, one day hot and sunny, one day rainy and gloomy. We will use the photos to make a display board. So, thanks. I am kind of moody these days, probably because of the weather. YOu know what, 10 students from our school are shortlisted to be winners of the Snapshot competition. They are going to make a 2 min presentation in the award presentation ceremony. According to Sandra Lam, the consultant of Wiseman, our school will get the Highest Entry Award, which not only counts the number of entries but the overall quality of the entries as well. Happy news, right? Send my kisses to Debbie and Sandra and the lovely students too (not you!!). Enjoy the rest of the trip. One more thing, I really find the journal you prepare terrific. It's so good that we can sell it in the market :-)). 6th July 2008 | ozspur - From: What a Gay Day | You waking at 0330 UK time surprised me because it was 1030am HK time which you usually have already done millions of school work no matter it is a school day or not. so how's the weather today? When i was on the ferry from Greenwich back to centre of London, the tower bridge was opened as well. Lucky :-) |
