T minus 15 days

i'm looking forward to:
  • learning from a completely different people about God, life, and laughing
  • beginning on a new slate of who i am and what i know
  • not having all the answers
  • working on perfecting my french
  • spending 9.5 months in a non-consumerist society learning to live a truly simple existence
  • having a monkey for a pet

so much for america, i'm glad i know what it's like to be a consumer, but i'll really enjoy being somewhere radically different and life-changing, hopefully i'll come back with a new world view, not just the "america rules" picture

Re: how to put a baby monkey to sleep.
Swaddle a struggling monkey so that only it's little face is visible. Cradle it in your arms like a baby and stare into it's eyes. It will fall asleep within minutes. I have done this with three different wild baby monkeys. Be forewarned: by staring into it's eyes you are beginning a bonding process that can be intense. Our monkey thought I was "mom" and would scream and bite anyone who tried to take it away...
