following an unknown path
I go on not knowing—I would not if I might; I would rather walk in the dark with God than go alone in the light

language classrooms can be noisy
Here's proof from one of my classes last year: The first video is of students debating for one minute on simple topics like "tea is better than coffee" and "watching news on tv is better than reading a newspaper." I tell them "outside yes, inside no" and then they have to support the opinion I've given them. Since they only have one minute to discuss the topic, they get really loud really fast. I love it. The second video is of an activity I'm going to do in class tomorrow. Each student has a partner--one sits down with a pen and paper, the other runs back and forth from one side to the other. Why? Well, they look at song lyrics, memorize a line or two, and then run to dictate that line to their partner. First pair to finish wins. Of course not all of the activities we do are this noisy . . . but I do love it when my classroom is so loud I can't think.

taiwanese toy store finds
Awhile back Lawrance and I had fun looking around in a toy store. We've actually done this a couple of times since--I guess we are just kids at heart. Here are some of the cute things we found on the shelves. I love that one"kitchen set" includes the hot water heater thing most homes here have and that the other one is a rice cooker with chopsticks and sushi. I can't wait to have someone to buy these cute kitchen toys to play with. Then of course what little kid wouldn't want to zip around on his or her own little moped?

Those were amazing photos! Beautiful, yet toward the end, tragic.
Their architecture is fantastic though.

Yes, one firefighter lost his life fighting the fire.
It is good that the building was empty, otherwise the loss would have been
much greater.
