A time for asking..

It's that time of year at Dalat International School where the end of year "party" is about to happen... It's actually called the "Junior SeniorBanquet" (referred to as JSB) and it's a HUGE deal. The Juniors (Grade 11's) prepare and plan the whole thing - they start at the beginning of the year - and put it on for the Seniors (Grade 12's). It's a way of honoring the senior class who is about to graduate. The grade 10, 11 and 12's plus all the staff attend this event. It's all a big secret as to what the theme is and where it is held.. We are all taken on coach buses from the school, not having a clue where we are going until we actually get to the venue!
So the build up is happening now.. And the big thing is that the guys have to ask the girls as their "dates" - and this is usually a "public" asking... Some things that the guys have done is sing a solo in the middle of class/lunch time in front of students, give flowers, picnic on the beach.. ect. And not only students were asked.. Your's truly was also asked... publicly..:) I was playing ladies indoor soccer after school one day when another collegue/friend of mine walked into the middle of the game with a bouquet of flowers, and came walking toward me! He asked if I would go to JSB with him and of course I accepted:)
Below is a pic of another "asking" where Robbie (grade 12 student) came as a "knight in shining armour" on a horse onto school property! He asked his girlfriend with a bouquet of roses and had another horse with him on which she got on and they left campus, trotting off in the sunset to the beach, where a picnic was waiting... aaahhh:)
