The preposterous, bitterly laughable irony of this, gave way yesterday to a ray of hope when I read about the courage of this and then discovered this. I was wondering when someone was going to stick a big ol' burr under that saddle. Hope they keep it up all year.
In other hopeful news, I've discovered that Sakyadhita, the International Association of Buddhist Women, will be holding their 2008 annual conference right here in Ulaanbaatar on July 1-5. Needless to say, the local women I've informed about this are all the way psyched. You'll be hearing much more about this -- I'll be on it like wool on yaks -- but they haven't released any more details beyond the dates.
Wow, it's a crazy world, isn't it. Some days I feel like I'm just surfing on a wave of nuttiness!
I'm job hunting at the moment, but will be sure to include two weeks vacation in July when negotiating any potential offers. I'd love to make it to the Sakyadhita conference.

Hey Konchog, none of the links marked "this" will open for me - so I will have to use my imagination as to what they are. I;m thinking W or Lord Voldemort...

Don't know what to tell ya, Ani. Just checked 'em and they all worked. From my server in Outer Mongolia. Your second guess is closer, if his name was, say, Lord Voldemort Chang.
