Last night was our school's annual school auction fund raiser, and my class had given me a ticket as a Christmas gift, so I went. My Lutheran elementary school used to have auctions every year when I was growing up, but those were held in the school gym and had themes -- I remember one year when everyone wore overalls! Not last night... we were in the grand ball room at the Shangri-La on the Bund, and I thought the best thing about the evening (besides the free-flowing wine) was seeing what everyone wore! Not many of the younger teachers went, and I was bored out of my mind during the live auction. But when the dancing started, things quickly improved! I think they probably raised about 1 million RMB for the school (none of that was mine, since I didn't even look at what my bidding number was), so I guess it was a good night!
Some good-lookin' first and second grade teachers!
I made Roger get out on the dance floor, but he didn't move his feet the whole time!

It sounds like you had a lot of fun--and I'm glad to hear that you didn't spend any money on the school. Good for you!
