On that bombshell...

At our Monday meetings, we usually have some big issue thrown at us that takes us by surprise (last week it was to say that one group would do a mock test the next day without informing us and therefore disrupting our plans) and today, we were told that, due to the Tibetan new year this month, the school will be on holiday for 2 weeks!!! That's the last 2 weeks of February, meaning the students will lose 50 lessons, with exams coming up in March, and that our two American colleagues will have no teaching to do in their final 2 weeks here, which is not what they came here for.
I don't know yet what I/ we'll do but some travelling will have to come into it somehow...
