Well it seems water pipes don’t know it’s supposed to be a holiday or a Sunday. When we came home today, this is what we found in front of the house. The pipes that were replaced in January – February this year didn’t seem to be able to handle the job and we were told it burst.

At Face Value

When someone tells me how much they enjoyed a foreign place where they have lived in their lives, I am always glad to hear they had the chance to experience a different culture. But at the same time I’m always left with the thought “exactly what was it about the place that they liked so much?” What was their favorite pastime? What traditional art did they enjoy the most, a style of dance or perhaps a traditional style of music? How much of the native language did they know? How many locals that weren’t associated with the bases did they have as friends? What was their favorite hangout? Answers to these questions usually help me determine whether they actually knew the culture or if they were just infatuated with the outer face of a location.
