William (Billy) Fong 方家樂
 

There's Jenny and Joanna, the stars of our film, with their moms behind them.

So, life has returned to normal in Taiwan now that everything is DONE.  My grad schools accepted me, and I finished applying to scholarships, so I'm back to enjoying my life teaching, eating, working out, and hanging out with good company. 

Also, all the filming at school is finally done.  The Education Bureau sent a professional filming crew to every school that has an English  Village (it's basically a simulated environment that allows students to practice practical English, like buying a movie ticket in a place that looks like a movie theater) and wanted every school to introduce how they use it.  To see pics from the filming, click here.

Then, even more exciting, Zuo Ying Elementary got chosen by Business Weekly as one of the top 100 Elementary Schools in Taiwan!  Thus, the school had to create another video to introduce itself and its unique characteristics.  And it's online!  Click here to watch it, and please do because you should vote for it!  It's in Mandarin and Taiwanese, but the storyline is REALLY cool.  It's about a grandmother and grandson going to ask Confucius about which school is the best for the son.  Answer: Of course, Zuo Ying Elementary.

To vote, you will need to register your email and have some knowledge of Chinese, but if you really want to vote and are serious about it, I will be more than happy to guide you (cause that's how much I want my school to be in the top 10 list!).

Congratulations both on getting into all your grad schools and congratulations for your elementary school! That was a cute video. I would vote if I had some guidance...Hope you win!

Congratulations to Zuoying for the big win! At the same time, isn't it a little absurd that the title of "Best Elementary School" is determined by popular online vote? I mean, I'd understand if it were like, "best video," but best school?

Congrats Billy! Do you know where you are going to go for grad school? Enjoy the rest of the school year! I can't believe how fast it is going!
