Hi everyone!
This is Jim writing for once. It is now Wednesday night/early Thursday morning. Gloria will be back on blog duty tomorrow.
I taught all three evenings this week and spoke in chapel on Wednesday noon. Tomorrow...that is Thursday, is a full day off. I do not teach again until Friday evening.
One of the only annoying parts of our trip is the time we have had to spend booking hotels. This evening Gloria worked on hotels for the rest of our stay and when I came back from class we finally got things settled. We are staying on an island hotel (still part of Singapore) Thursday night and then 6 remaining nights in a hotel down the street from the school.
We moved hotels on Monday + Gloria did laundry. Tuesday, however, we went to a famous Buddhist temple and had a fascinating supper meal with one of the profs from BGST. As well, after chapel Wednesday we joined the faculty and staff for lunch. One of the BGST students showed up for the meal, a business man named Christian. He paid for everyone's meal. I guess that makes him a real Christian!
Gloria will fill in the details on some of this stuff tomorrow + provide some great pictures.
Jim
(P.S. It is easy to post a comment now so keep Gloria happy!)
I'm glad you guys have your housing worked out for the rest of your trip! If only one of you were more obsessive about hotels, you might have had this all figured our ahead of time. :)!
ReplyDeleteGloria (and Jim) - great blog - keep it up - I had only read fragments until now but sat down this morning and read it all - thanks so much for doing it. Sounds like a great trip. And Andrea is very funny.
