Simply Irresistible !!!

When this little girl grows up I hope she will have this photo with her. And I hope she would have mastered enough of the English Language to be able to read this blog about herself and her kindergarten mates here. In fact, I do really hope that the teachers in Wuhan will encourage all of them to excel in the language as a motivation to read on their own...in the near future.
And this little girl would one day ask,
" Who was that sweet lady who carried me onto her lap and hugged me so lovingly that day in May 2008 ? "

" I would like to meet her again !"
Why?

" To tell her that my friend next to me was tickling my ears..and I think he was jealous that I got all the attention! ".




Another great bunch of kids with Melissa. Dennis was partly hidden on the right of the picture.



All of them were sitting in a sort of circle when the teacher explained the game of Chinese Whispers. The teacher started it by whispering into the ear of the 1st kid on the left a sentence. Then that kid did the same to the kid on his left and on it went.

I was enjoying the spectacle when the pass-on action reached the last boy seen here grinning in a red shirt.
He was told to whisper to me!
Mind you, the sentence was in Mandarin.
Fortunately, I understood what he said and I had to say it aloud to everyone. There was much clapping after that! Ha ha!



Anything You can do I can do Better !


The girls had shown their grace and talent in performing the dance. So what could this little chaps do? Not to be outdone by their more genteel classmates they went all out in an attempt to prove the old time song,
" Anything you can do I can do better", correct.
So, the boys performed a kung fu routine with kung fu music that would have made their Wudang forefathers proud.
In case you do not know, the famous Wudang sect of Chinese martial art originated here in Hubei Province at
Mt Wudang in the ancient past. That happened to be one place I most wanted to visit in Hubei. However, owing to a lack of time, as it is far away from Wuhan, I have no choice but to mark it down for my next revisit here.
