I personally believed that all members, seniors and juniors, did a good job today in interacting with our guests from Tianjin No 1 High (or Middle) School.
I was pleased with the way you people persisted although there was some language barriers, like some of our guests could not pronounce "Angklung" properly or when Justine asked a male guest to introduce himself, she called him a "nan hai" (boy) instead of "nan sheng" (guy).
Perhaps next time we should learn how to translate terms like "Angklung", "Kolintang" and "chords" into Mandarin before we embark on other enrichment activities for Chinese guests in the future.
On behalf of the college, especially the teachers who are in charge of entertaining the guests, I would like to thank all of you for spending your Monday afternoon bringing fun and enjoyment to the guests.
I can sense that the guests really enjoyed themselves. All of you have done well. No wonder the school keep inviting us to entertain guests.
