Bailey went to the prom this weekend. It was a Junior/Senior prom (she is a sophmore), but she went with a big group of friends (no dates) and they all had such a great time. She has such a nice group of friends at her school and has kind of been taken under the wing by several of the older kids. When we moved here, I was the most worried about Bailey finding her nitch, but she has really loved the friends and experiences that she has had this year. In the morning all 4 soccer teams played at home. So afterwards, half the varsity gilrs soccer team went to one of the players' houses to get ready for the prom all together. They all then went to another friends' house whose parents are from the Philippines and cooked them up a delicious dinner (unbelievably generous to feed 20 plus kids!!!). And here is where the big differences start with living in a foreign country. They all took a taxi to the prom (yes - only a couple of kids in the school have drivers' licenses - and yes a taxi is a very common mode of transportation here). The other huge difference is that the legal drinking age is 16. Oh yes - quite different. Because it is legal though, it is not such a big deal. Bailey had such a great time and it will definitely be one of the really fun memories of high school!
