Hello!



So I look up for a quick second and see Dan Blacketor shaking hands with this small group of brave little boys who wanted to try their English. Surrounding him like little piranha, they circled and jumped in, extending hands and taking pieces of his, shaking vehemently as they did so and shouting “Hello! Hello! Hello!” all the while. He was holding his own pretty well… until I pulled out a camera to take a quick shot. It was like throwing horse meat into a feeding frenzy, and within seconds, Dan was literally stormed with nearly a hundred little boys and girls (mostly boys) increasing the “Hello!” volume and darting in and out to try to shake his hand before running away giggling. By the time I got close enough to get the first picture, I had to start retreating to take the second in order to be able to fit everyone in.
