Last night I found myself riding home in the back of a minivan with a Japanese family listening to an interesting mix of American classics such as Donna Summer's 'Hot Stuff.'  I arrived here on Sunday and it has been non stop ever since.  We just got back from a 3 day English camping trip with about 25 middle school students.  Wow!  On the last day of the camp, we took them to a fancy French restaurant where we learned table etiquette.  I really enjoyed seeing the students struggle trying to eat with their fork and knife held like a fist in each hand.  They are about as good with these utinsels as I am with chop sticks.  However, I recieved a complement last night about my use of chopsticks so I am definately improving (I even ate salad today with some).  There are so many things to say about this place; it is probably the most beautiful place I have ever seen and temple life is very interesting.  I really should elaborate more here... in due time I suppose.
