Matt and I were on our way from our hawker dinner to our Mandarin class. We passed by the community centre's (that's how they spell it here) computer lab. There was this little boy on the computer at the end. He was about 11 years old. I saw that he was scrolling down on a page, and the page had a NAKED woman on it. I pointed it out to Matt, and he tapped on the window, and when the kid looked at us wide-eyed, Matt shook his finger at the boy. It was pretty hilarious.
We went up to our classroom, and we saw the terrible teacher going in (we had an excellent teacher for the past few weeks), so we left. We felt bad, because he saw us, but oh well.
In other exciting news, the New York Times has a super piece in it today -
When I first moved to New York, I loved the Metropolitan Diary, on the second page of the Metro section on Mondays. It's basically stories that people send in about experiences in New York. People write about the passengers on a bus, they write about cell phone conversations in restaurants, they write about random things they see in Central Park...it's things that make New Yorkers say, "YES!! I totally know that!!!"
Today, one of the "Dear Diary"s is written by my good friend, Ruthie! Check it out - it's a great story.

I read that Metro Diary bit and was tempted to send it to you just because of the description of bare foot touching subway (given your issues with touching the subway generally).
Funny that it's by somebody you know...
That's so funny that you happened to read it! She's one of my favorite people.
