Schools are an Oasis
9th May. 2006

Catriona is out doing laps at the all girls high school behind our house. I think in the near future I should join her as my girth continues to grow day by day.
I'm very thankful that schools here allow the public to come inside the grounds after classes and on the weekends. They are usually very large enclosed spaces which function as a kind of oasis, isolating you from the chaos of urban Taiwan. Not surprisingly they are never crowded on the weekends as the locals seem to love to gather in what were once quiet and serene parks, but are now not much different than the streets they are designed to isolate us from. They even pipe in Muzak!
