Chinese New Year around the corner.....
And it's an age-old tradition amongst Chinese to give eachother hampers, angpows (little red packets with money) to eachother to wish one well for the coming year.
Great was our surprise that some students (3 sisters) of ours approached us with a box of mandarins and a pack of dried, roasted meat (a local delicacy). Not only that, on the box was printed their respective names and a wishing well message.
So touching......:) Such gestures make our life as teachers much more meaningful than a big, fat bonus at the end of the year
