A taste of India

With over 600 photos to look at and edit and arriving back in Hong Kong, sleep deprived and straight back into 4 days of school, complete with parent and child conferences (3-way just doesn't sound right) writing on my blog has taken a real back seat and being in bed at 8 has been priority.   Now it is Chinese New year holidays and time to catch everyone up on the world of Amy and my adventures in Mumbai (Bombay) India!

The photo above was one of my favourite photos I took while we were roaming the local suburban streets. It was just after we had witnessed and joined in a Groom on his way to his wedding and his fellow friends (and band) dancing in the street.  This street girl thought we were hilarious and was the sweetest thing.  

Enjoy!

Arohanui,

P.S - Go the Crusaders!

Namaste

Today I am leaving on a jet plane and heading to a little old country by the name of India!

India is a place that I really have never been interested in visiting, until I got to China (a place that I NEVER EVER thought I would end up).  So when the school offered to pay my way, accommodation and course fees I was in!!!

So in an hour we leave (8 of us) to head to Mumbai (Bombay) to do an IB PYP course - for all those non teachers - it means learn more about the international curriculum and how to use it in our classrooms.  I am really looking forward to actually having the course under my belt, complete with IB certificate, as it is a MAJOR help when looking for top paying and quality jobs worldwide!  Not that I am looking anytime soon.

On the topic of teaching, yesterday I had to present to our staff BY MYSELF!!!! And by staff I mean 77ish staff, looking right at me!!!  So not cool but anything to practice for my next role as a principal (haha, so NOT what I am intereseted in doing EVER!)

I am not sure that India is ready for me but I am sure ready for it, call it escapism, child like excitment or whatever you want but.....

"I'm going to India for freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"

Excited much?

Arohanui,

Love Amy xo
