Day 2 Hong Kong

In the morning, we went to yet another school. This time it is the Tai Po Old Market Public School Plover Cove (TPMPSPC). That's the longest abbreviation I've heard for anything, what more a primary school.

As usual, whenever we visit schools, they showed off with a wonderful band performance.

Then the parents took the stage and shared how much they like the school. They were very active and you can see that they have almost every say in the school. They were as good as the staff there. The Principal was very democratic indeed and even included two parents in the school board.

The student leaders took over. They explained how much the school meant for them. When asked what about the school they would like to change, they answered that they would not want to change anything. "It is perfect," said all of them.

It was later when we toured the school that was quite funny. I showed some of the student leaders some magic tricks and they were hooked. They followed me everywhere. Hah hah hah... that was funny.

We went to Hong Kong Institute of Education after that. That was when I uploaded my blog. They got free wireless access for online discussion for the conference participants. Somebody posted an intelligent post on the forum. When I met Edmund, he thought it was mine. Hah hah hah... that was also funny.

Got to the hotel, ate dinner. Cup noodles, Chipsmore cookies and Schweppes cream soda. How I earn for a proper food. Murtabak would be nice. Or perhaps RK House's paratas.
