On Friday night we had an advisory group outing. Advisory is the same as homeroom. I share the Grade 12 advisory group with Dr Naji (in the blue shirt). So far we have only met as a group on the first day of school. However from next week the administration is re-instating advisory meetings each morning for 9 minutes. I'm not sure why the practice was stopped this year, but its good that we will be able to meet regularly.
Our outing was to an Italian restaurant in the Airport Plaza mall in Chiangmai. It was also Cindy's (back of the group on the right) birthday, so we had ice-cream cake as well. Another cross-cultural experience - eating Italian in Thailand to celebrate Cindy's birthday with one Thai student, one Korean and three other Chinese students, my French/Arabic colleague and Mary the Australian. It was a pleasant evening and a nice way to get to know the students.
Yep - that's some good mixing of cultures! Hope you are learning how to cook Thai while you are over there!
