My birthday fell on a teaching day so I made all six classes that I taught sing me happy birthday a few times and then make me birthday cards. I have never received 180 birthday cards on my birthday before! I was teaching at the nice primary school that Thursday too so it turned out to be a good day.
After work I went for a hot pot dinner with my friend and her boyfriend. They bought me a birthday cake and some crazy Chinese birthday candle. After dinner we set off loads of fireworks at the school. Good food. Good fun.
The plastic lotus flower crazy Chinese birthday candle was supposed to open when lit and play a happy birthday tune. But it didnt open, caught fire, melted plastic and the tune sounded mash up. I loved it!

Happy New Year etc
Happy New Year Yusuf. Glad you're well. Lovely to hear from you. 180 birthday cards! The children, aged 6-7, in one of the classes where I volunteered as a TA gave me a christmas card (plus a pressy from their parents) from their class, with labels and messages stuck on. Seems like some responsible adults've taken charge. It was v.neat. Did you enjoy the time with the children? I enjoyed mine v.much. I worked with Year 2 & 3 (aged 7-8). I'm not sure if I will apply for the teaching course the following year. The fees've gone up from 3.5k to 9k & there's no income coming in for 9 months. The full time course's intense & there's no room for part time work. Looking forward to hear about your Indian adventure.
