Still tickin’
I am well. Many plaintive e-mails have found their way to me of late, as I’ve been all but e-nonexistent (if such there is such a state). I’ve been traveling more than usual, and this week I have several final exams, so I’ve been cramming hard.
This past weekend I spent in Tainan, a stunningly beautiful coastal city with warm, warm weather. I saw many temples, was cooked dinner by Buddhist monks, and declined an invitation to stay with them overnight so I could participate in the morning prayer. I did manage to stay for the evening prayer, though, which made for an unforgettable experience.
Today I had a written exam, for which I had to write solely in Chinese characters, by hand, with a freaking pen (typing Chinese characters is no long a problem, nor is reading, but writing? that’s another story), and that went quite well. Then this afternoon I had an oral presentation about all the traveling I’ve been doing. I’ve another, similar one on Friday.
I’m going to go out to dinner tonight and take it easy.
Till another time.
