That day we had a fairly lazy class time. We didn't really learn much more, or at least I didn't. I was a little out of it though. We did skits and my mind just was not down with the quick thinking that a skit requires.

After class though, we went to the asian culture center, which was located right next to KAPIC. It was really interesting. They had cultural artifacts from all over Asia, even musical instruments and board games that you could play if you wanted to.

This is Samurai Armor from Japan. Samurai are Japanese warriors from the past.

This is a budda statue from India. I just thought it looked cool.

This is a Tengu Mask from Japan. Tengu are tradition Japanese folk monsters, they're like mountain orcs.

It seemed strange to have such a cool little museum in the middle of nowhere, right next to KAPIC, but I guess it's just another thing to draw people out there. KAPIC is so remote that only the best cell phones worked, and even for those you had to stand perfectly still on a chair outside to get it to work.

Earlier in the week (the same day that we planned yesterday's pajama birthday party) we decided that Thursday night at KAPIC would be an 80s Party. I wasn't expecting to have so much fun the night before, so I wasn't quite prepared for another party the next night (if you know what I mean). I guess I wasn't the only one too, because it started out really slow. Everything ended up ok though, and it ended up being almost as fun as my birthday party. Party games can do that.

Ben's a tough guy from the 80s. When you're a Jet you're a Jet from the first cigarette.

No caption needed.

Go hang out with Ben.

Sue looks lovely as always...

This is a game where we all held someones hand and tried to make a huge circle without ever breaking hands. I'm still convinced it's impossible.

I don't know what's going on in this picture, but it's not not homosexual.

And the night ended with a great game of "I never," which is a lot like truth or dare without the dare. Needless to say, we all found out more than we ever wanted to know about everyone else in the group. It's a good thing that the unspoken rule that "anything said during 'I never' is never spoken of again" exists.
