Sure Signs

Sure signs you have been in Asia for too long:

1) After the initial burst of anger that the baguette you bought to go with the "weekly splurge" blue cheese is smeared with sweet butter, you decide it actually tastes better that way.

2) You are finally able to distinguish at least 75% of your students by looks, yet every white person you meet looks shockingly like another white person you know.

Meanwhile, while I whine about trivial shit and make racist jokes, millions of people in Burma are suffering or dead. I am in a state of partial shock right now after reading all the accounts on BBC news. I don't really have the energy to write about it now, but please, anyone who isn't up on what is going on there, please do some reading! And consider making a donation to help the relief efforts. I will be doing some research to figure out the best organization to donate to (in light of the fact that many of them are not even allowed to enter the country), and I will post that info when I find it.
