Pacific Rim – Foxconn outside lesson

So…..

Had to get pupils involved in an outdoor lesson.
Took them to see Pacific Rim at the cinema.

It’s an English speaking film and I thought we could get some discussion out of it…
Better than walking around Tinglin park with my finger up my arse.

Lets go by bike!

Here’s a picture of the cycle ride down there (i thought they were joking when they said go by bike , they weren’t , they were serious).

We got there and had a bit of a drama.
Got some popcorn and coke and things settled down….

One of the girls had a discount card and we paid around 60 yuan for 8 people.

Pacific rim

The film is about robots vs aliens.

It’s nice cgi and effects made it a bit of a boys film.

Most of the action was centered around the fight to save earth from monster controlled aliens.

These alien were secretly being controlled by robots from earth who were controlled, secretly, by humans.

With secret control, monsters and aliens.. I enjoyed it.

The acting was terrible.

Couldn’t eat our two tubs of popcorn.

Was fun though.
The Chinese seemed to enjoy it. I’ll see what discussion we can get out of it next lesson.

Chinese Watermelon Kids

As you may know, things have turned rather hot here in China…

What better way to cool your kids down than smashing them over the head with a watermelon?

Watermelon kid – a self starter

This, apparently, is the latest fashion for overheating tots round China way…

Some parents have even been kind enough to carve them out for their kids.

They’re the ones I’ve featured here.

Teacher Juicy drinks chicken foot

Here is a picture of my Chinese co-teachers tasty brew.

Chickens foot brew

Some might call it a ‘foul infusion’.

The chinese are quite keen with the feet, heads, beaks and bones.

Less  so with the brains, guts and balls.

I think they’d rather suck than chew.

Maybe, walking around with a chicken foot hanging from the mouth gives the impression of opulence.

I’ll ask Juicy…
