Friday morning I went with my friend Helen to her daughter Nevic's end of the year presentation. She just finished class four. Moses, a taxi driver that we hire on a semi-regular basis, picked me up at home and took me to Helen's. Then he drove Helen, Christel (another daughter) and me to New Century Bilingual School. He left us there and drove around for two hours carrying passengers. I could only go for two hours because I had to get back across town in time for a work lunch. He came back and picked me up (Helen and Christel stayed because the ceremony was long from being over), took me home to pick up dessert for lunch, and then took me to work. I paid him the equivalent of about $15.
The school program was a great experience and I was really glad I was able to go. All the different classes and various school groups gave performances- choir, dance classes, debate teams, etc. The traditional dances were my favorites. It's amazing to see four and five year olds move like that! I have some pretty cute video clips.
