Teaching, Talent Show, and Breakdancing

Ayo, so teaching went quite well.  The students are excellent artists.  We showed them some techniques on shading, composition, and perspective.  We also had them draw a partner, portrait style which went well.  I like teaching so far and am pretty good at it. It's much better wasting time and rotting away in a cubicle for some white collar BS job doing something we don't wanna do so we can buy things we don't need (yeah, i watched Fight Club last night).
Last night there was a talent show, which was cool.  Ancient Chinese clothing was on display, as well as the students singing, modeling, and dancing ability.
Next door was a group of military officers singing in unison, and next door to that was a break-dancing class/party/get-together.  As soon as we walked in, and I mean as soon as I put a foot in the door-frame this Chinese girl started hounding me about dancing.  I was like, neh, and they kept insisted and of course my friends did.  Finally she just grabbed me and pulled me so I had no choice.  The threw on some Kurupt song and I grabbed two Chinese dudes who were pretty good and we got a circle going, and then two more of the foreign teachers and a couple Chinese dudes joined in.  It was pretty fun and glad I got pushed into going up, and I also got a free train ticket to Wudong, the home of Tai Chi, as one of my friends said he would buy my ticket if I got up there.  Chyeah!
