Ugh. I am sick. I think it is bigger than a cold. Teaching is hard when your throat hurts! Happily, the students are still learning and having Aasim and Andrew here is a big help. We did more complicated stuff today, so that was fun and hard at the same time.
But who cares about that work-related stuff - today I got to hold a BABY WHITE TIGER!!!! How amazingly cool is that? Her name is Valentine and she is a 1-month-old female they are hand-rearing. They are (obviously) sort of casual about animal contact. Aasim got to hold her as well, but she clearly prefers me! ;-)
When we got back to the room this evening, there was a huge tokay gecko on the wall just inside the door. I was thrilled. Andy and I got several photos of her (we think she's a female because we've not heard any calling) before she ran away. Apparently her depth perception is skewed when running across a white field, since she crashed into a little bump-out on the wall. She 
was big enough that we could hear her footsteps as she ran, and we heard her crash too. She recovered quickly and fled behind the air conditioner.
