Katherine, guest of honor...

This past Sunday, Katherine served as the guest of honor during two graduation ceremonies for primary school students enrolled in the i-Learner English program...

The ceremonies were held at Hong Kong Polytechnic University ("PolyU")

Katherine gave a short address...

...to the students and their parents

She also presented a number of awards

It was quite a lot of fun seeing the students get recognized for all their hard work!

Since this post is English-learning-related, I'll also share an amusing (though slightly creepy/disgusting) billboard ad that has been recently running around here...

"Not only will we teach you English, we'll tattoo your tongue!"

Following the ceremonies, we made our way to Katherine's parents' place for a pre-Chinese-New-Year celebration dinner...

The gang's all here!

Happy New Year!

Ha! What is it with the Wall Street Institute and their weirdo ads?!

WOW....Hong Kong even has a Polytechnic University just like Virgina!

Love the celebration of reading...I know Katherine enjoyed being an important part of the children's success.

Not liking the tongue tattoo (thankfully it is NOT the American flag!)

Wish we could have been at the New Year celebration dinner.
