This a a photo of Li Qin with the other students on stage at a night club type place in downtown Beijing. Guillaume is friends with some of the musicians, and you see him playing while the kiddos sing.
The first step in our process of becoming certified was to fill out an application online, and pay the $580 fee, which included a "site visit fee". Since I was driving this ship, I became the "PDSO" (principal designated school official) - are you impressed? Well, don't be 'cause it just means I have to take care of all the paperwork - though most of it is online, so sans paper. The adminstrators at our school (Dean, Craig and Karen), are DSOs which meant that we all had to bring in our passports or birth certificates (and in my case, green card) so that the visiting inspector could see them and take copies. This is in spite of the fact that we have all been fingerprinted and had full FBI background checks - but hey, that's the government for ya.
There were various corrections etc. that had to be made on the forms, but finally it was approved and the appointment was made for the site visit from Mr. Feucht. We joked about the pronunication of his name but he told us (email) that it was pronounced "Fight". I hoped that didn't meant that we were up for one. Amazingly, he was very prompt in setting up the appointment and came to the school within a week of the acceptance of my application.
To be continued....
