Waltzing in Shanghai
Weather: Snow
Temperature: -1 c
That was not the first ball I attended. My first ball was the “Law Ball” organized by the law department of Help Institute in 1999. I remembered the ball vividly. Though we all dressed up properly and elegantly and the ball was held at 5-star luxurious ballroom, when it was time to dance, instead of dancing like European elites in the 18th century, we danced like Ah Beng and Ah Lian.
No classical music was played, but techno songs i.e., typical Ah Beng’s favorites.
The same applied to my CLP night: we wore ties and blazers, but when it was time to dance, we were no different from the DVD peddlers.
However, the dinner and dance in China witnessed something different. Believe it or not, I was wearing a tuxedo (the company rented it for us). Corporate image was very important. Nope, we did not dance the crazy frog, we waltzed.
Had I ever imagined learning how to waltz in China? No way.
