Happy Sweet Fruit

As it was New Year's Eve, many of Diana's graduate students were throwing parties to which we were invited. What we did not realize is that these so-called parties were in fact talent shows in which we were expected to perform. I was not aware that the Asian-fascination with Kareoke would so vulgarly inflicted upon me. Ugh. Those of you who know me, know that I do not sing in public and I really really really really dislike Kareoke and more so, supersober kareoke. But, there was really no way around it. We "sang" a particulary horrible rendition of Aulds Aygn Syne (sp? the song that no one knows the words to) by request and a slightly better version of some song which I do not even know the title of.

The view from the hotel.  The tiny blob on left side of the mountain is a Buddah.  I like the camera reflection, personally. Apei in his room.  Isn't it cool? Diana in Apei's room with the vintage Levi's. A German church near the University. Apei, Di and the same church. The last photo of 2004: Me, Di, Apei and friends having Hot Pot. Apei and DW, at Hot Pot
