Students Meet at CSLI Activities:
Each break at CSLI, you can find something interesting & exciting going on. This month we had a ping-pong tournament and a billiards tournament. The rule is you must have a partner from another country. This is a great way to meet people and relax during the breaks. Thanks to Daniel, Shane, Marie for organizing the tournaments and congratulations to the winners: Billiards - Marie & Raul and Ping Pong - Flavio & Sung Hoon. At this time of year we sometimes have a challenge keeping our students minds off of the weather. This month's Friday activities did just that. Some of the popular activities were drumming lessons, tarot card reading sessions, Stanley Park & aquarium tour, curling, being part of a Music TV (MTV) taping, sushi making, karaoke, winter hiking, beer making, and going to a casino.

Graduation was Snowed Out!
For the very first time in CSLI history, the local mountains had too much snow and we could not make it up the mountain with our buses. The students still had a great time with the quick change of plans. We ended up having a pot luck lunch at the school and then rented the local bowling lanes for a private party for the afternoon. Congratulations were passed out to the hardest working student of each class and a big congratulations to Marie Van Nieuwenborgh of Belgium for being chosen our Student of the Month of the entire school for the month of January. Marie will receive a free flight back to our 10 year reunion and a one month scholarship with all the other students of the month.

CSLI Student's Touching Poem:
"The red dance, the rhythmical ticking of the fingers on the piano and still the red dance. I fix it, I admire it and the flame looks like its dancing in the middle of the table around which we were sitting. The light seems concerning and kissing our cheeks our visages. World people visages, of different worlds, of different eyes. But all with the same desire in the heart to know oneself, spending hours to speak about our lives. Who knows in other times if this would have been so perfect stare at us, or simply to speak about our dreams and problems. It is from the hands that I unaware, I left for an infinite travel."
Written by Marco Bianchi of Italy (inspired after meeting students from all over the world at CSLI)
