just keep swimming

An incredibly heartwarming and touching experience. Many people have told me that this has been their best 20-10 yet, and I couldn't agree more.

I felt bad for the guys standing in the back..

mid-autumn moon festival (:

I cannot get enough of these 2 things right now.  They will def. be missed when I return.  Why can't coffee in America be this good??

I just got back from the craziest bike adventure.  I suppose they would call it normal here.  But sitting on the back of a bicycle, soaked to the bone, while the tiny little girl in front of me is biking through a flood, my feet dragging through water, there's nothing normal about that.  I don't know how she did it.  She told me it's been a while since she's showered in the rain like that, not since she was a little kid.  I'm glad I can bring a little bit of adventure and childhood spirit with me.  I am even more impressed after my failed biking attempts in Hoi An.  Bravo, bravo.

I understand that there's a language barrier and all, but still.  Even in our high school Spanish classes, we'd come up with some dumb, silly, creative stuff right?  Or at least added in extra hand motions, random gestures, and dramatic acting to make it seem so.  It's a bit of a culture shock I think to realize to what an extent these students have been limited in their free thinking and creativity.  I want to bring that back to them, see them exercise their imaginations again, and to be excited about thinking outside of the box.
