Remains of the day

On Sundays I usually return to the Guest House too late to access the Internet and post an update. On Mondays I am doing all I can to get ready for class and try to organize the week.

On Saturday I was on the north end of the island and Sunday I was at the south end. On Sunday I went to dinner with relatives of Leelee (my house mate at Virginia Tech ages ago - I was there on sabbatical). We passed Malaysia's "Silicon Valley" and ended at a seaside restaurant right next to a Chinese Temple. I think that much of dinner was alive and well minutes before we ate it (a feeling that always makes me a bit queasy).

Everything was delicious as the pictures might suggest. I have also included our happy group - grand father, 4 children (one set of twins) and one very happy guest. The father was the assigned photographer. On the second picture (under the group phot0) tried to capture the whiskers etc on one of our victims - many things are served with no effort to leave you guessing what it look like in life.

I learned a bit more about school schedules. The younger children go to school from 1:30 - 6:00 (I may have the exact times a bit wrong) and the older ones from 7:00 - 12:30. Whether I have the times right or not it makes for a very busy day - especially when one has older and younger children. I heard about the children's after school activities - I forgot to ask about before school activities.
