My teacher recounted the jobs for each sex in modern dance in my second modern lesson, in which I learned tango and waltz. My standard teachers, Angel and Darren, also have classes with Glenn Weiss' former partner, Maya Sewald. They are great.

In the studio, I can see young professional couples drill on their steps. They are all about 22-28 years old, and their performance and dance are very beyond the couples dancing in championship level in OSB. That amazes me, and sometimes I wonder how far I can achieve by the time I am at their age.

The weather is extremely tedious in Taipei. My parents do not nag me as much as I expected-- I guess because I have been being very quiet since I came back. I just read a novel "Bomjours Tristesse" written by Sagan when she was only 19 years old in a cafe near Paris. I will talk about the book in a post later...
