International Women's Day

Tomorrow, March 8th is International Women’s Day. China is very much on top of this celebration. For the past week and a half I have been teaching the students a song to the tune of “You Are My Sunshine” that goes like this:

You are my sunshine, my dear mommy
You make me happy when I am sad
I want to tell you, how much I love you
I love you mommy, dear mommy

It was mostly written by another teacher with a bit of help from yours truly. It’s simple and easy and meant for the students to sing to their cats. Duh.

This morning the students made their mothers a card and directly after lunch we made dumplings for them to bring home to the women in their lives.

So, do let us follow the Chinese and recognize all those great women, whether they’ve influenced us directly or indirectly, the world certainly wouldn’t be the same without ‘em.

Those pics are adorable!!! A question that perhaps you can answer now that you've spent time in China - why do Asians often feel the need to do the peace sign in photographs??
