newspapers

i didn't know that even newspapers could remind you of home when you're away in another country...

i was reading "the straits times" in my school library the other day (yes!! they have it in kyoto university's library! >.<) and just being able to read the newspapers from home just as if it were a newspaper (as compared to the online version where you have to sit in front of the computer and strain your poor little eyes all already tired from a days work just to read it... ok not that i do that but yah you get the idea)... omg i didn't know that reading the newspapers from home, no matter how it compares with other newspapers, just reminds you of home... and i didn't know it could feel so good just to read "the straits times" (i only used to read the life section, but that day, i read the whole newspaper and in fact, 2 sets!)

i was moved. haha.
