Love in the Time of Cholera

waiting for love hurts
fifty years is far too long
but might be worth it

a few stories of Buddha there




behold the glory of the multi-colored temple ceiling!

Moby Dick

years ago, a group of us were trying to rewrite classic books as haiku. The idea was abandoned when we discovered that a book of such already existed. I've decided to repost some of them here.

Moby Dick
Call me Ishmael
Ahab hunts the white whale
Vengence is not good

by Adam, i think

can't read it

this has become an unhealthy obsession

slave to the wage

all good things come to an end, and my holiday is no exception. I'll be working on Monday it seems. I'll just be doing a small amount of tutoring next week, with classes beginning at a few places the following week.

it just struck me that i might be tutoring Monday to Saturday, and i bartend Sunday nights, so i somehow have a seven day work week. I expect that will change rather quickly.

I might be switching my bartending day to Monday. So if you're a Zhongshan resident, consider joining me for discount wine Mondays instead of half price appetizer Sundays. Please come save me from the same introductory conversation with Chinese strangers I have every week. if you won't do it for me, do it to save betty and Judy from the hassles of trying to have a conversation with me for a few hours.

Wuxi

Wuxi is a place I'd never heard of. Of course, that describes most of China. It's a big place. It's famous for great views of lakes, which we skipped, as it was near freezing, and a temple, which wasn't skipped. One of the biggest temples i've been to. very nice

inside the pillar was a baby Buddha, which is born every day and washed by dragons.

the temple from the outside.


Karen described the serene temple and the beautiful surroundings as "one of the most boring things I ever saw. Easily one of the most boring."

For whatever reason, I can't upload any more photos right now. I'll see if the site cooperates tomorrow or Monday
