Farewell celebration with Addison!

Today was the last day of the program! After a short class, all six of us in the group went to the mall for lunch. Then, we practiced our dance sequence for the ceremony! We are doing the YMCA, the Macarena, and the Cha-Cha Slide. We practiced for a while, then it was time for the celebration! A few of the Vietnamese students gave speeches, and we all gave little speeches too. Then, we brainstormed ways to stay in touch and decided we’ll meet in Dubai in five years! Finally, the time cane for our dance performance!! We were able to get the students to join us for the dances, and little did we know, the Vietnamese students had a dance for us to do together! After all the dancing, we all exchanged gifts! After that, giant dinner feast time!! There were a lot of interesting dishes, and they were all super yummy. I sat next to a girl who taught me words and complimented my chopstick skills. The craziest part of the meal was the hot pot that boiled fish alive! Crazy but delicious! After that, we did karaoke! I walk into a super fancy room, and a girl is singing a Taylor Swift song, so I jump right in!! At some point, Andrew joins too. I sang lots of songs! It was so fun! Finally, it was time to say goodbye. It was sad, but Dubai in five years! (Hopefully!)
