Lost childhood?

Okay, I know it's been forever since my last entry, but that's because everything is become more 'normal' the more time we spend here so it's kind of exciting to have found something else that ignites my curiosity.

It's summer here and we've taken to cooling off at the beach for some fun. The first time I noticed the phenomenon of the Taiwanese teenagers burying each other in the sand, I wrote it off as one odd group on one odd day. We've been back to the beach almost weekly and it happens every time. We're talking about older teenagers and young adults, circling around one person in the sand, building a huge hole together then burying a mate in it up to his neck and taking ridiculous amounts of photos. Sometimes they are wearing jeans and high heels. Do they know what a beach is???? What is with the burying??? One theory offered by a friend here is that they are so busy studying during their childhood that maybe they never had fun so they're making up for it now. I don't know. It's a mystery to me and I don't have any photos to share with you. Next week I'll try and get one because this really should be captured.

Adios.
