Susan's Pizza

Another 'western' restaurant in Manjiatan belongs to an ex-maple leaf teacher named Stan, who is married to a Chinese woman named Susan. They have a restaurant called - wait for it - Susan's Pizza, and serve only Canadian food as well. I took the class out for lunch one day a couple of weeks ago because it fit in with one of our ESL units. The boys thought they had died and gone to heaven. Fortunately they were paying for their own food, because the amount that some consumed could have fed a family for a week. They just loved the opportunity to get off campus - especially during a school day- and were very appreciative. I just love every one of these boys - they are a wonderful bunch to work with. This is only half of them - the rest are in a different section of the restaurant. Every week their is a group called 'English Corner' that meets here. They come to have an hour of English only speaking and as a bonus get to hang out with the opposite sex - it is the only boy girl club. Pretty rediculous how fanatical the owner is about keeping the boys and girls separated. Another teacher and I are going to have a term end party with both our classes and invite girls to it. The boys are so excited. They are in groups - hosts, waiters, entertainments, gifts, music, bar tenders (pop and water), cleaners. It will be pretty fun.
