An Avenger kind of day

Working for Disney... there are definitely perks!

One is events in local shopping center where we partner with other parts of the company for the "greater good".  Today all staff were asked to go to Raffles to celebrate Children's day with Marvel and the other Disney English center... which means for a couple of hours we invite children to particpate in learning activites and songs on stage.  We also get to hang out with other foreign and local staff that work for Disney!

Another perk is providing us with attire to match the recent movies.  China only allows so many foreign movies to come in each year so when a movie is allowed in ... it is definitely marketed well!  So instead of our normal uniforms... we were able to wear jeans, tennis shoes, and our new black Avenger shirt featuring Iron Man today to the event as well as to classes this evening.  We also have a white Avengers shirt featuring Captain America.

The third perk of the day is a movie ticket to see the featured movie.  We were given a ticket to see Avengers a week or so ago so after work today a couple of our local staff graciously assisted us in finding an English showing and a nearby theatre.  (Oh the joys of living in a foreign land!)  Six of us hailed cabs and went to a 10pm showing.  Enjoyed the movie but I don't think it translated into Chinese very well.  During certain funny parts... like the reproducing Catholic rabbits comment... the only people in the whole theater laughing were the 4 foreigners...which made it even more comical!

Now it is 1am and I am officially done ...and curled up in bed posting picts of  the days adventures of trying to live intentionally in Middle Kingdom!  Tomorrow... my day off... so stay tuned for more great adventures...
