Mid-Autumn Festival, part II

Yesterday we were invited to the Mid-Autumn Festival party for the children of the faulty at Libby's school.  It was a great idea to bring the families of staff together, especially since it seems they do not have the ability to socialize since they work long hours (7 am - 6 pm most days, and then some work on the weekends too).

The evening started off with some basketball in the school courtyard (these courtyards are very common in the Hanoi schools I've seen) and some dinner for the families:









Libby speaks very highly of the staff at the school.  Here she is with the English language teacher (top left), one of the rt teachers (top right) and the principal (bottom):





After dinner, we had the talent part of the evening, including more fruit displays and a dragon dance.  But the highlight of the evening for us -- other than the bicycle-riding monkeys that fell down the stairs -- was Carter doing the worm across the stage (video at the end):
