Nov 20 is Teacher's Day in Vietnam. This holiday started in 1982. This is the day when students honor their teachers and give them gifts. Yesterday (Nov 17), the Foreign Languages Dept of the university organized a celebration of Teacher's Day in the school's auditorium. We were invited to attend the event and got to see some performances from the students. We foreign teachers also got called onto the stage to be presented with flowers. The school also gave us a card with a 100,000VND bill inside. Afterwards, some students wanted to take pictures with us because we were looking sharp with suit and tie. Today, the CN class gave me a bag of goodies (a box of custard filling cakes, a can of ice tea bags, and a bottle of wine). We can eat the cakes and drink the tea, but I am wondering what to do with the wine (ELIC has a policy of no alcohol while in country).
Here are some pictures taken yesterday.
