dancing with the monkeys
Today I went to my first-ever dance class. One of the teachers at school was a professional dancer for 10+ years and is now starting a dance/excercise class after school. We'll see how long I last. The only thing I learned is that I have essentially NO balance.
The other new thing that happened today is that I learned that there are monkeys in the hills behind our house, which I previously HAD been looking forward to hiking in. I was a little nervous about the animal life in this tropical climate, seeing as how I don't exactly love animals, and this news confirmed my anxieties. My roommate actually SAW A MONKEY walking across the road in front of the shuttle bus the other morning. The only other wild animal I've seen since I've been here has been a cockroach, which has fortunately been outside, but was unfortunately quite large in size.

I think it would be cool if you saw a monkey... probably not if it was up close and personal though. Maybe from the safety of a vehicle like when we saw that moose at our campground once.
When I was a kid in hong kong, I was attacked by a monkey and my mom and her friend had to save me. My parents remind me of the incident all the time.
emiline...don't worry. i got bit by a monkey and am still going strong. i would guess that most monkeys aren't in the biting business, though.
You have just tapped into everyone's deep, dark "I have a monkey" story or at least the desire to have a story vault.
It's a little too "Captain Planet" to take.
