Think of all you would have missed if not for the journey, and know that the true worth of your travels lies not in where you come to be at journey's end, but in who you come to be ALONG THE WAY.

hmm.
ok, well, funny that i chose to put that last post up because well, like i said i was searching for a creative way to break the ice with my neighbors. i thought about praying about it and thought about asking others to do the same, but i never really did. and as i was thinking about ideas the other day, i was thinking maybe a game of cards or i could borrow a guitar. then the other night i stopped by my room to find this huge, sick spider on my wall. i went into emergency mode and ran out into the hall. i quickly introduced myself to the guys that hang out in the dark hallway, explained my situation in English slash body language and before i knew it my room was full of guys trying to catch this spider (note, i had asked them to kill it but whatever). so one of them caught it and threw it over the balcony. it was all pretty exciting and kind of embarassing, but at least i feel pretty cool with the neighbors now. they're all nice, young arachnophiles just wanting to help.

That's funny! Maybe the part of your charade where you squashed the spider wasn't emphatice enough! That reminds me of my good buddy and roommate Steve who would find crickets in the house, and just set them outside. I was always like, "Steve, just kill the crickets."
james, that's funny. i expected you to encourage me to embrace the local culture and just let the bugs just live on my wall. thanks for understanding.
