For those of you thinking of names for children:
Eiffel
Sonic
Major
Tybalt

"Did you name yourself from a Romeo and Juliet character?"
"Yes! Yes!"
These were Taoist students today. Basically the only difference between the Taoist and Christian students is the uniform tie design. The Christians have a cross and the Taoists have the yin and yang symbols. I took a fantastic photo of some sort of gilded spiritual leader today. Tim calls it Jungle Boogie, which will likely come back to haunt him in his next life. As a dung beetle.

My only news is that Tuesday and Wednesday night, my students perform. I'm in charge of the backstage crew, helping with costume changes, set moving, and making sure the fly walls aren't attached to the floor when they fly.

Thursday night, Joan and I will begin our excellent adventure to.....MALAYSIA. We'll spend a day in Kuala Lumpur, where I will assuredly purchase spectacles, then fly to Singapore that night. We're kind of doing this on the fly, so I don't know the specific plan yet, but we're going to take a ferry to Bintan, an island of Indonesia, since apparently there's not much to see in Singapore. Under my mom's advice, I will need to behave in Singapore and try even harder not to get arrested. Chewing gum is illegal. Drug traffickers get the death penalty, so my mom suggested that I leave all my drugs at home. She is an ever-flowing wealth of advice.

I've been researching the political climate of Malaysia in preparation for the trip.
The fun never ceases---
