Just a quick story about last night: Bridges Across Borders threw all the interns a party last night at Talkin to a Stranger, which was a nice time. But, after that, a few of us decided to go out to a club to try and dance or maybe find some karaoke. We ended up at the Gold Star club, which was just off the Riverfront, the touristy section.
Anyway, lo and behold, we were the only white people in the bar. We felt a little unsure at first and didn't recognize any music, but then "Sexy Back" by Justin Timberlake came on and so we hit up the dance floor. Immediately people were looking at us and a bunch of people came over to dance with us. It was a pretty young crowd, probably mostly Khmer teenagers, but they clearly found us pretty interesting. Even better, I was the tallest person in the whole place!! We hung out for a while and heard quite the interesting mix of Western songs like "My Humps" and "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" and Cambodian techno songs. It was quite the night out...we felt like celebrities!!
Besides that adventure, we have still been doing orientation for the last couple of days. We are getting more and more adjusted to the work we'll be doing, but I think everyone is getting a little tired of the orientation work. Luckily we decide on our groups tomorrow and the topics we will be focusing on and then get to work on Tuesday. I am excited to get going and start developing some real lessons.
I heard this morning that the Senators made it to the Stanley Cup Finals!! Let's Go Sens!!

HA HA HA HA HA...nice post...they must be pretty short over there!
So, the "tour" has begun? Lets be honest here O'Shea, this law thing is all just a clever guise and you're still running for Secretary General of the UN or Pope. Maybe both!
Just the same, St. John's isn't the same without you...oh wait, it never really changes.
Ben's night in a few months. Maybe soccer. Until then, be careful and have fun.
Cheers,
Chris
