Last Friday night Meagan organized a NUDT foreign teacher party on our 18th floor rooftop. In the picture you see most of our teachers – from left to right –Steve USA & Ling his girlfriend –Ranald UK - Meagan USA- Vincent USA- Amanda & Seth USA- Me – Tommy UK – Marian Australian – Andrew her husband took the picture. It was hard getting a good fire going in the cheap grills but we ended up bringing up a George Foreman Grill to finish off the hamburgers. We all had a good time and got to know one another a little better.
Notice the blue bag above Vincent’s head – we put it on one of the many, many cameras they have watching us. About 10 minutes after we put it up – the guards came up to “check up” on us – but they didn’t make us take it down. The 30 minutes later the big FAO boss (Mr. Li Gen) with a party of about 8 came up to “look around the new foreign teachers’ apartments” (yeah right – at 6:30 on a Friday night??). We offered him and the others some tequila jello shots. He had one but the rest of them refused. And yes, I was standing there cooking the chicken with the bottle of beer in my hands when they came up.
