Nearly a year ago now, our school’s Director retired. There was to be a big party to say goodbye and we, the foreign teachers, were asked to perform a dance. Normally we refuse these things to avoid embarrassing ourselves but we are big fans of this guy so we agreed.
A couple of months before the event we were given a rehearsal schedule that involved us practicing four times a week – it seemed excessive. Of course, this being Thailand, what actually happened is we had three or four rehearsals the week of the party and we were hopeless.
To distract from the fact we didn’t know what we were doing, we wore as much bling as possible and smiled a lot. I think we got away with it.
It was actually great fun and earned us some brownie points with our Thai colleagues who loved seeing us get involved.
Anyway, I finally made a little video of it so I hope you enjoy it!
