Book & Paper Arts Calendar Updates - August 27, 2018
Hello everyone,
I finally feel like a normal human being again. Still a little sniffly but more firmly entrenched in the Pacific Daylight Savings Time zone! From what I have been hearing I am not the only one going through the get sick for 7 - 10 days, get better for a week then get sick again. I had the added delight of being jet-lagged as well. I made it through my unread book arts related emails to the end of July finding some new classes along the way. I wanted to get out an update as soon as possible with another one once I catch up to the end of August.
The trip was amazing despite my falling ill. The wedding I attended was over the top (not as over the top as the Crazy Rich Asians movie). While CRA stretched out all the ceremonies over 3 or 4 days, this wedding did it all in one day - wedding ceremony, lunch + tea ceremony and the biggie - the wedding night dinner - 9 courses of food over 4 hours! Instead of presents you gave money in red packets (at the tea ceremony and at the dinner - I love how practical that was). It was lovely to be able to stretch the US$ as far as we did - currently US$1 is about 4.10 Malaysian ringgit!
