Teacher's uniforms

So, I've been here for two months, right? This next story demonstrates how unobservant Hong & I are. haha

Once the students switched to summer uniforms (which was about a week ago) Hong & I started noticing that all of the teachers were wearing almost the exact same grey skirt. We couldn't figure out what was going on. & Then the next few days, they were all wearing the same pants and skirt. So, at our meeting on Thursday when all of the teachers were gathered in the staff room to indulge on Ms. Lao's delicious culinary skills (she made us Creme du Caramel b/c she found out that we really enjoyed it!), we noticed that they again were all wearing the same grey pants, so we finally piped up & asked about it. Turns out they have a mandatory uniform policy for the Elementary teachers. They have to wear grey bottoms & a while blouse. Huh! Who would have thought? Thank goodness we aren't forced to do this... 1. I don't own any grey pants (I kicked that habit after 4 solid years of grey pants wearing at St. Ignatius High school) & 2. I own one white blouse, which I've already managed to stain & I DID own a white golf shirt but threw it in the wash with brand new red bed sheets. Brilliant move, I know. I'm really good at getting white things dirty.

Bought tickets to the Zaia Cirque du Soleil show tonight! We go next Thursday night & we snagged third row seats :) Word on the street is that this show isn't doing so hot & there are plenty of empty seats each night, but still I can't wait!!! I've never seen a Cirque show, so I have nothing to compare.

Going to Hong Kong for the Easter weekend. I am very excited to have a little RNR away from Macau. Don't get me wrong, I really do love this city, but I need a change of scenery/ in search of other things to think about other than my Inquiry Project & teaching.... Oh no... my life as a teacher is just beginning, isn't it? Living, eating, sleeping, dreaming with teaching. Oh bother!
