Dim Sum Carnage

When I have more time (Finals Week is upon us) I'll devote lengthy post to our trials and tribulations in making it to Jordan last week. Suffice it to say at this point that the normally reliable Student Universe was an unmitigated disaster this trip, with, seriously, five different screw-ups along the way. I'm still planning on using them this spring for the March trip to India, but they're definitely on a short leash. I don't have a lot of time - and should, truthfully, be grading right now - but the brief version of the story is that we ended up trapped in Montreal for an extra day on the flight out. Now, we could have sat in our hotel rooms and sulked, but instead we gathered our large crew and headed to China Town. Most of the students had never been there, and an even smaller number had ever tried Dim Sum. One Dim Sum Carnage later and they were quite content - and off we went for the Middle East.

One of the fundamental rules of student management is keep feeding them and they're usually happy.
