Dinner with Foreign Language Dept.

Friday evening, straight after school, Howard, Jacqueline and I invited Sri Racha School's Foreign Language Department (English and Japanese) teachers out to dinner at an all-you-can-eat Thai-style BBQ. About 10 teachers came, and we all had a great time. As is custom in many eastern Asian countries, when you invite someone to dinner, you pay. So, Howard, Jacqueline and I paid for the dinner, which for all of us only ended up being about 550 baht for each of the three of us!! Very good. Plus, the dinner was amazing, as it is a very sociable dining experience, and the teachers really seemed to enjoy it. We also got to know some of the younger teachers (2 of whom are Japanese teachers, one a student teacher, and the third an English teacher). They usually are pretty quiet in the office, which we believe is due to their age, and being around the older teachers. I think for us, this does not apply, as we are foreign, and the English teachers enjoy speaking with us in English. See photos below.
