Back to School

Classes resumed today and we are limited to thirty minutes on the computer. If I were a better typist I would have a different profession. After attending presentations I spent over an hour taking pictures that will remind me of the impressions which struck me. Most are of people and their interactions or their expressions while presenting but statues abound in many corners as well as designs on walls.
The campus is on hills, nothing as drastic as those on the Korea campus in 2005, but require energy to climb. There is no help for it. Keep on carrying on. At the 2011 WW conference in Toronto, Canada, it will be different. Plants are a study for sure, although none here are so different from elsewhere around the world. After all plants inhabited the land and animals eventually evolved so we have a lot in common.
The silhouettes are interesting and many are pruned to accommodate the spaces. One such pruning in particular is a pine tree screne, cut back from the ground up to about 4 feet, then allowed to spread toward the street as it rounded the corner. Very atttractive. It will appear on the website when I get an opportunity to organize.
I chatted with William in Kenya this morning on gmail and his business is to hire University students, teaching them writing while they work for him.
Actually my time is up so off I go. Students come first.
