I just got told a hilarious story by someone who accidentally got lost and stuck behind the scenes (ie not in the public areas) at the Smithsonian one night. These are the sort of stories you only get when you work in archaeology or museum studies. *L*
The research has picked up and I'm quite busy which is why I haven't posted for awhile. I just got back from having a meal with some of the museum staff where I'm working atm. They've been really helpful and given me a lot of great opportunities to take advantage of over the next few months. I'm back to reading site reports at SNU tomorrow, though I only have a few more shelves to go through.
Sunday evening, I went with a group and we ended up having dinner at this new fangled Korean Buddhist temple. They had some really fascinating variations on Buddhist iconography going, but much to my surprise, the nuns and monks took us to a local Japanese restaurant to eat *L*
Yesterday, I dropped my passport off at the Indian consulate to get my visa. My trip to India is only a few weeks away! I've got a bunch to get done before I go though so later!
