J+19 Teachers day!

Today was teachers day, a big event in Chinese high schools!
I found it really touching and surprising to see how caring each student was about his gift to the "favorite teacher"
Some boys had spent their entire "Sunday free time" (which probably represents an hour) choosing their present. The boy sitting in front of me showed me a beautiful mirror and was extremely impatient to offer it to the English 老师!
The class "monitor", a student responsible of assisting teachers, had organized a decoration set up, the classroom felt very Christmassy! They had the red and green sparkling garlands;

I particularly enjoy Mondays: we have "PE lessons" (its basically Outdoor Kung Fu, in the sun) and Music. I like these subjects, because in sports and arts, I have the same skills as my classmates (If not better... ;) )
At 4pm I was informed we could leave the school earlier. I conclude this does NOT happen a lot...from the state of euphoria my classmates were in!
My sister and I decided to take a small break before going back to work and went window shopping, I tried on some gorgeous dresses, I also became aware I would never be able to buy any trousers in china, they all fit my waist, but are 30cm short!!! This seemed to amuse the sails people...
Later on in the evening, I went out for my little night walk (this has become my little routine, I quite enjoy it) and I noticed something I had passed in front of maybe 50 times: opposite the huge luxury stores of "Deji Plaza" (big fancy shopping center: Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Cartier, Giorgio Armani, Dior...), my eyes fell upon the workers home. There was a group of men, singing outside, I heard them from behind a plastic panel, I walked to the entrance and all their smiling faces turned towards me at the same time, they all said "Hello", I gladly answered and smiled back. I would have liked to take a picture with them, but to be honest, I felt rather uncomfortable pulling out an IPhone, it was inappropriate.
I managed to take a more distant shot. It illustrates the gap between poor and rich people, typical in developing countries such as China.
