just as the ending bell rang, rain bucketed down. The kids sprinted from their classes and we all joined in a drenching game of cane ball. For the following three hours we threw and kicked the sphere made of woven cane, played football (with skill rivaling Manchester United), and taught each other whistling techniques.
Just as I started home, my student, Sing Khine Du, took me to her house in the nearby nunnery.
As the sun was setting we scaled their very own 13th century pagoda.
