Update! Because...
Yesterday's purchases:
The Orchards of Syon by Geoffrey Hill--$5.00 (originally over $28.00)
The Oxford History of the Crusades by Jonathan Riley-Smith--$10.00 (original price unknown but most likely more than I'd be willing to pay)
These were from the bargain bin at Kinokuniya (Liang Court), but they were still pretty new. People just didn't want them. Miraculous! I also found Don Quixote (I wanted to try that, but I looked inside and it's absolutely unbearable--sometime never then), and Death and the Sun (a book on matadors and bullfighting which I'm slightly interested in, but you can get that in the library and it cost ten dollars).
Today my brother did a wushu presentation with the rest of his wushu class at a McDonald's outlet at East Coast (three kids, not including him). His class is made up of children who have problems like low I. Q. or autism (like him), but there is one normal girl in it who's there to help her brother. They're doing it because the wushu class is not earning enough money and might close down and that means no more wushu class (so they had to do the performance in order to get more people to come and join). So they just informed the parents of other kids with problems who might be interested (apparently it makes the children more focused and all that).
Most of the kids who attended the performance had Attention Deficit Disorder and played with the decorative water pools (all part of McDonald's efforts in Bringing Sexy Back--yeah right, we're not fooled here). The waitress scolded them. All part of life with special needs kids.
