Can't Complain

As I was walking back from a new language center I visited today, it started to become hotter and hotter out. Dressed in a shirt and tie, I began to sweat, and stopped in a 7/11 to grab a bottle of water to cool down. I finally reached home, tore of my sweaty clothes and started to curse this heat that makes me shower multiple times a day and drives up my water bill. And then I stopped. Its 92 and sunny here. Every single day. I have been in this town 6 weeks and if I was to add up all the days its rained, been cloudy, or had a temperature below 88, I'm pretty sure the combined total would be one. And as people back home are dealing with snowstorms, treacherous roads, and traipsing through the central Illinois wind to get to class, complaining about it being a little too hot here is kinda ridiculous. And its kinda nice to think that although things can be frustrating sometimes, I am in Asia and its sunny and 90 everyday. Guess life isn't too bad huh? :)

ALSO, I sent out some postcards a while back, and its began to percolate back to me that people have started getting them. Two things; first, I apologize for the legibility of the script, the very smearable pen and glossy sheen of the postcard combined with my inherent bad handwriting and attempts to leave the words unsmeared often resulted in only semi legible, if unsmudged, writing. And second, if you are a reader of this blog and don't receive a postcard, I apologize. Monetary constraints prevented me from sending them to everyone I wanted to, but rest assured you are at the top of the list for round two. :) Hope everyone is doing well, be safe and stay warm!
