Emerati teachers. A real mix of cultures but so exciting and I went up and talked to some. They were extremely nice.
Service before the convention. Yummy croisants and juice.Break time, sandwiches and coffee. A huge exhibition center in Abu Dhabi. We had to be up at 4:00 to get ready, 5 to eat and leave at 6 am. Long tiring day
The hall where they fed us. There were about 15 stations set up with tons of food. It was amazing. And of course servers to make sure there was nothing you lacked. It's the same at the hotel when we eat. the second your plate is empty they take it away. They even refold your napkin if you lay it beside your plate to go get more food. They bring drinks and cappacinos to you and anything you want, you just have to say so and it's there. I'm getting quite spoiled.

The convention was actually the day before the new school year started, I was just excited to show off my boys. They had several speakers, and we were given little ear phones that we listened to for translation. They gave us lots to eat. It was pretty cool.
Wow...did we attend the same event? Never so so many rude Arabic teachers...they pulled of headsets when the English speaker took stage, played around like high school girls teaching each other. It was embarrassing and disrespectful! They completely dishonored their own speaker and representative who spoke first.
ReplyDeleteImpressive. So. . . were the students with you part of the time - the whole time?

ReplyDeleteWow. I'm impressed. I would be totally overwhelmed at this point. Do you know when Wesley will get to come over?
