Dress Rehersal??

Okay. So today we had to go to the Bond Kindergarten. There are 2 schools here in Kaiyin. The School where I teach and the Kindergaten. There is a group of girls that came a month earlier than i did (lucky ducks) to teach at a summer camp. They live down the street from us and they teach at the Bond kindergarten. It is about a 20 min bus ride from where we live. Anyways, we had to go to the kindergartern for a "dress rehersal". We are getting ready for a HUGE Halloween Party and we all had to come up with dances to perform. Every group had to have 2 dances. Our School was doing Monster Mash and Ghostusters. Since we have twice the amount of teachers as everyone else we were split into 2. I was in the group doing a dance to Ghostbusters.
We got to the school and took turns doing our dances. Everyone had come up with some really good dances and really fun to watch. They were all very well choreographed. I had been the one to come up with most of our dance. Ours had been more like a skit put to Ghostbusters. I thought it was funny. Sure enough, we got the response I was hoping for. Everyone laughed. When we were finished, everyone said that they loved it. It was so funny!
At the end of the "dress rehersal" They announced that they would let us know if we would be performing at the Halloween Bash... Auditions?! No one told us! We would have practiced more if we would have known. So what happened was this: It ended up being longer than they expected and they were going to cut one dance from every group. They would know by tonight who had made it, and they would inform our head teachers. So it was between Ghostbusters and Monster Mash for us. Who do you think go cut... Ghostbusters. Turns out, ghostbusters was the ONLY dance that got cut. What a round about way to say "your dance sucked" huh? So, we decided that it wasn't humor they were looking for. They wanted precision and good dancing. Ghostbusters lacked both. We were all about having a good time and making the crowd laugh. But I guess it's not even all that funny if you can't even understand the Lyrics of the song. So that was part one.
Here is where it gets exciting: They asked us to stay and wait for about 45 mins as soon as we were finished with the so-called dress rehersal. Then they took us to the Police Station. All 30 some-odd teachers. While we were waiting though I taught a bunch of girls a line dance. "Fishin' in the dark" So on the way to the Station Life became a Musical... Yes, we did our line dance in the streets of China. It was pretty sweet. I had my lap top, and Alicia had her speakers. So we blasted our Country song and danced our way to our destination. We were having a blast!
When we got to the station, they crowded us all into a big room and made us sit there while they spoke to us in Chinese (like any of us could understand) If they asked us any questions, we weren't allowed to say English, and Teacher, in the same sentance. "We are here for a cultural Experience, We are at the schools to spend time with the children..." Apparently we are all here illegally. Not really. They just don't understand "volunteer" we are all teachers and we don't have working visas. So They gave us 3 months to get it figured out or else they are going to kick us out. Good thing we only have 1.5 months left, right? I guess it is because of the Asian games. They are taking place in November, not to far from where we are living and so they just wanted to check up on things.
So I'll say today was a pretty eventful day, wouldn't you?!
Day 60
