We woke up to the heat and humidity we fell asleep to yesterday. No big bugs in the room this time, save the occasional cockroach. I went to teach piano. M. figured out how to play inversions while changing chords in "Ode To Joy" on his own, which was a welcomed surprise.
After I dropped L. off at home, I went to the U.S. consulate to check a few things out. When I got there, I was able to bypass a long line of Chinese waiting for visas, as citizens get a pass right in. The process getting through was quite smooth. There was hardly anyone at the embassy counter, so I was able to get forms, registered, and extra pages in my passport without waiting long at all. Only about 4-5 other people came through during the 45 minutes I was there. A much more pleasant experience here than the U.S. immigration office back home in the States.
TV shows for tonight: "24", "Insects from Hell", and a National Geographic on Egyptian kings. Ironic about "Insects from Hell", considering the one we encountered yesterday.
