Re: Birthday Boys & Girls

Hi Guys & Gals,

Thanks to everyone for all the amazing food that was presented at Coleman house to honour those whose birthday is in August: Rowlin, Kitty, Toyoto, Brian, Nat, and Leo. It was all really delicious. Toyoto made wonderful sushi, Victor made amazing spring rolls, Amy made some flavoursome chicken and also some beef stewed in red wine. All the other dishes were enjoyed by everyone and I made a 'strange' Thai dish called 'keng keeow wan bla' or in English, Green Curry with Fish. (Jonathan especially liked it and privately asked me for the recipe later!)


Victor then entertained us all with his special style of games, then some fabulous cake was presented to the honoured guests, the birthday students, and we all sang Happy Birthday!

Thanks to everyone for coming and also for inviting me, your very old teacher!


Tom



What an amazing array of food! I think Toyoto will be bringing a Bento lunch box full of sushi to INTO very day next week!!

As you can see, Jonathan, Leo, and Riyad were so drunk that they had to hold onto to each other to stop themselves from falling down on the floor!! He he! Just kidding LOL

We held a candlelit celebration, and the birthday folks blew out the candles in true traditional birthday style!

Here's a pic of the birthday people who were the special guests of the evening. Brian managed to cut the cake without inflicting any damage to his manly appendages (much to his girlfriend's relief!)

Hi all,

here's some pics of my dog Jumbo in his new home as promised. You can also see his new friends and playmates.

See you all later when we bring some tradional food to Coleman House!

11th Aug (Sat) - Oxford plus Bicester Village (Shopping Outlet)

Hi there,

Last Saturday, we went to Oxford for 1 day short trip with some of our classmates. On that day, we have a lovely weather. It's a fantastic journey!!

Look at the map below just for an idea of how far from Norwich to Oxford!! -- It's super far!! We took almost 4 hours by driving because there was a little traffic jam when we drived into Oxford city centre. (It should be around 3 and half hrs at max)

1) The 1st stop is "Alice Shop". This is a famous fairy story - 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' by Carroll Lewis. This shop sells some mini tea cup, teapot, plates, postcards etc. (pls refer to below photo I took in Alice's shop for mini tea tool set)

2) After shopping in Alice's shop, we went to Christ Church. One of Christ Church's other literary and film associations is with J.K.ROWLING'S Harry Potter. Scenes for the first two of these successful film were shot at Christ Church. If you want to visit the part of chruch, you have to pay 2.9 pounds for permission (but for meadow is free) ; you can visit The Dining Hall, The Cathedral........see more in pictures!!

The Dining Hall

3) On the street in Oxford city centre, I saw a "bunny girl". She is very qute, and there is a bobtail attached on the back.....see below pic..hehehe!!!!!!!! very funny!!

Thanks for joining this trip to Oxford, everyone. It's very enjoyable to go out with you. I am expecting our next trip to the Norfolk (boat trip)!!

see ya

Hi there,

Us teachers got together at the weekend and cooked some food. Can you guess which dish Tom made? I'll give you a clue: it's kind of an orangy-red colour and comes from Thailand! I know Nat can, but can anyone else tell me what it's called in English or Thai?

We all had a great time chatting (not about our students of course!) and sharing our travel experiences. This year, INTO has collected teachers from countries as far as Thailand, New Zealand, South Africa, Spain, Portugal, Turkey, and many other places. INTO has become truly cosmopolitan with a really eclectic mix of people. (First person to tell me what 'eclectic' means gets...gets...a chance to sing 'New York, New York' in front of the class! Any takers?)
