Are we in a war zone? Asia is celebrating the New Year this week and I think that we are about to go deaf from the millions of fireworks that have been and continue to go off. If you think Independence Day in Texas is a show, you haven't seen anything! I inquired today and for only $12.50 you can set off 8 firecrackers the same size and caliber that municipalities in Texas shoot off over large bodies of water, except here you can light these in the middle of any street you choose. For the same price you can buy a string of 10,ooo black-cats to fire off all at once in the middle of a busy pedestrian sidewalk. Good thing it has been raining lately (which reminds me of another blog we'll post soon).
A has a tentative job offer from a university that is close to L's school and will go there on Friday when people start coming back from holiday to learn more about this position. Please pray with us that they will provide a furnished apartment close to L's school or that we will have peace about the apartment we are currently in.
Until then, we are exploring the city, keeping our heads low so as to dodge the celebratory bombs, firecrackers, sparklers, etc. whizzing by our heads (we aren't really in harm's way, just being melodramatic).
-L (& A)
