My school threw a farewell party today for the teachers who are leaving Taiping this year. It was at set party that I met this:
My gift, from my principal to me.
Yes, it is a miniature me, mounted and protected by a glass box.
Never before have I received such a gift and I am not sure if I will ever get something this good again. What will I do with this….I don’t know, any suggestions?
The speech that accompanied the gift made this little voodoo woman I know own even better. He spoke entirely in English, thanking me for my hard work (that was the first thing he wanted to say). In the second part of his speech he wished that I find success in my future work OR, even better, a good, rich man to marry. He wishes I have a romantic and passionate life full of happiness with my future husband. They will all pray for me that I find this man in America and then come back to Taiwan to visit. Looking out at the audience, I knew exactly who understands English and who doesn’t. One word to describe this moment: Amazing…
Aside from gift giving, there was a buffet, a bunch of speeches, and also karaoke. My principal really wanted me to sing an English song with him…too bad my throat was so sore, hehe
