Words and images in my life today.

"If you vote yes on 8, there will be no more gays."

- As said by one of my 10 year-old students on his understanding of what the proposition means.

I saw a picture from an APU Missions team in which yet another silly white person is wearing a pointy bamboo hat. I guess I'm annoyed because it's my school, it's Asia, tourists wearing the hat is totally offensive and stereotypical (how sad is that a third world nation has to sell items that mock their own culture in order to survive?) and I am critical about short-term missions trips that do not promote responsible tourism.
