November 20th marks a holiday that we don’t officially celebrate in Canada…Teacher’s Day.  This is a very significant occasion where all students show their gratitude to their teachers by bringing them gifts.   It’s a seriously big deal in Vietnam.  And although I had only been a teacher for a total of one week at that point, my students still made me feel special by presenting me with a card and ice cream (they know me so well already!).  The school put on a dinner and social as well. I got flowers too but that was from one of the other teachers…a story for another time. But it was nice to be recognized for my efforts all the same.
