Hi Taike, viewed the links with great interest. I have always been fascinated with different cultures and my wife and I were involved in International House in Philadelphia for many years when we lived there. We treasure the many friendships we formed there and feel lucky to have friends of 30 years or more who live around the globe. The growth of this international cyber-community is almost like reliving the very best part of our youth.

All the best to you and your family. BTW, are there any special precautions you need to take to protect electronic gear from all that humidity? Are air conditioners or dehumidifiers fairly common? Just curious.

Chas

PS: Any Habitat for Humanity projects going on over there, that you're aware of? I'll do some checking on this end.
