I was a celebrity English teacher for an hour

A small town in Henan. 2016

There was an offer to do a one-off one-hour English class in a high school. I decided to talk about Singapore life and explain some English words in that context. The class teacher met me at the entrance to welcome me and I thanked her for the invitation. The high school students were quite amused to see a foreigner in their class and giggled a lot but I tried to stay objective. At the end of the class, many students came up to me to take pictures and a guy even hugged me. I felt like a celebrity for that hour. After that the school principal invited me for some tea and to say thanks. All-in-all, it was really an unusual but interesting experience.
