College students take a break from studies to play in the park. These four are majoring in law.

Aerobics with an Asian Flare

Tuesday I went to a nearby gym to check out a "Dance" class. After about 30 seconds of the dance class I realized that it is really just high impact aerobics on fast forward. I seriously wish that I had video tape of it because I know that I would laugh (oh wait, I did). Not only did the male instructor take normal aerobics moves and put them in double time, he also made them bigger. We spent about an hour and a half flailing our arms and legs in multiple directions and moving our bodies in ways that just don't seem natural. The work out was definitely good for my heart, but don't know how great it is for the rest of your body. Perhaps if I have time I will try the Latin dance class next time.

Weird things about myself

I read someone's blog who had been tagged to share 5 weird things about themselves, so now I am tagged. But how on earth can I just list five? I live in Asia, there are a lot of weird things about me.
1. My 2nd and 3rd toes on my left foot are stuck together
2. I have eaten dog more than once and I like it.
3. Dancing in my kitchen is one of my favorite activities.
4. Coffee, tea, chocolate, dark sodas, and headache medications are off limits because caffeine gives me migraines.
5. I have curly hair (that my not seem weird to you, but it Asia it is very peculiar).

So now you have been tagged. What are five weird things about yourself?

This is our kitchen/dining room that actually flows right into the living room. I am quite thankful for counters, and sink with hot water, and our avocado green refrigerator. The purple pillow is in the chair because I was practicing writing and the table is too tall so I needed more leverage. That is my roommate over in the corner.

If you were to ever come visit us, you would sleep here. It is a small room, but the bed sleeps two and there is an AC.

Here is the rest of my room. The fan that you see is just about to be out of season!! I am finally sleeping under covers with the fan on low. My room opens up onto our balcony which has the wonderful function drying clothing. Last night I stood on the balcony and watched fireworks that were being shot off at a nearby park. It was probably the best display I have seen here so far.

This is my bed. . . My bed is really more than a place to sleep. In college I picked up the habit of studying on my bed, and it continues. Currently on my night stand, or on the floor actually, is the book "1421" by Gaven Menzies. It is good so far. If you are into history then I recommend it.
