A Second Day at the Labrang Monastery

Rated Nov 13 2009 • 1 review • buddhism • hubpages.com

It's an other world experience to visit a monastery and get a brief view of the monastic life high up in the clouds. It would have been interesting to have stayed longer to get more than a bird's eye view.

Am I My Brother's Keeper? (When a Homeless Man is Involved)

Rated Nov 13 2009 • 1 review • mental health • hubpages.com

He has been sitting there - outside of McDonald's - with his hand out. Cross-legged on the sidewalk when I first saw him, he has now acquired a chair. I wonder who he is, whether he has a family, why he does it, and worst of all - I wonder if I should involve myself.

This second review of Supreme Court cases that affect our lives involves cases in which Presidents Roosevelt, Nixon, Bush, and Obama were involved. These shortened versions all come from Michael G. Trachtman's book "The Supremes' Great Hits". It's mind-boggling to think of the difficult decisions that have had to be made.

In Urumchi, over pickled cabbage and fried potatoes with tomatoes, the three of us watched two Chinese men at a restaurant playing a game similar to Paper, Rock and Scissors. It looked like a lot of fun and is described here.
