Preparing for Christmas vacation and one week of teaching to go before the break.
Each year there is a picnic day where the form 1 students (grade 8) and teachers go to a park by bus and have a barbeque or as they say in Hong Kong a B B Q. It was nice time to get to know the kids outside of a classroom setting. They play various games and relax.
Students love to do the V symbol for victory (or as I was told just to make the photo more interesting.
This is the front entrance of my school. They re-did the front area (you need to click the picture to see it better).
This is my new (old) apartment building blocking out - well blocking out everything in the site line. You have to like views of skyscrapers and 40 floor apartment buildings.
I walk to school everyday and this is on my to work.
This is the same walk bridge facing my apartment building. I don't know how but I managed to get photos without much traffic - amazing.
What in the world is this you ask? Well this is Christmas in Tsing Yi. Yes the Christmas theme in the big Maritime Square is Garfield and Odie's Christmas. Complete with Orange Christmas Trees. Nothing could be this tacky Richard. C'mon you're lying to me.
Like I said - Orange Christmas tree in case you didn't believe me. Why do I get the sense they planned this for Halloween and the shipment arrived late so they decided - "Let's use it for Halloween" I've traveled to a few malls - and I swear they try to "out-tacky" each-other. Weirdly enough I like it but I'm a cat person. One thing that they missed was John Arbuckle - how can you leave out John? And no Nermal either.
Merry Christmas Everyone. I'll be back with photos from Thailand.
