Two Peters
One Saturday we held the Staff Sports Day. The Chinese teachers are fierce competitors. Some of the Candians are good athletes but can't hold a candle to the Chinese for passion about these events. These two guys are great role models for the kids however. The tall (Dianne says young) Peter taught Canadian Studies with me in Termj 3 and I sat beside him in the teacher room in Term 4. The staff thought it was quite amusing that we were both named Peter, especially when we made the same goofy comments about things that happened in the staff room.
