COCONUTS ON THE AIIAS CAMPUS
There are coconut palms all over campus….
.
.
You may be wondering what happens when those (rather large) coconuts ‘WAY up there fall…... I did, anyhow, and promised my self I wouldn’t walk anywhere near the drop zone, as I’ve seen a nut or two on the ground under a tree.
Then I found out why more people aren’t killed by falling coconuts on this campus.

WHAT A REMARKABLE DISPLAY IN TONIGHT’S SKY…..
Check out what appeared in Manila’s night sky on Sunday, May 16:

Isn’t that cool? I’ve never seen this before, but I suspect that it may be rather more common in MAURITANIA, or perhaps ALGERIA.

WALKING AROUND THE AIIAS CAMPUS
AIIAS stands for Adventist International Institution for Advanced Studies, the Far Eastern Division’s Seminary that also has a graduate school giving advanced degrees in Business, Public Health and Education. It’s set on a tract of land (40 acres?) surrounded by a wall with barbed wire on top of it. It is an oasis of order and care in the midst of the chaotic muddle that surrounds it. I’ve not (yet?) been very systematic about touring, but will take you along on my Sabbath morning walk. First, here’s an overall view of my house…..
.
.
Faculty housing is on two sides of the periphery of campus, and all are like this - duplexes with the garage between, and adjacent kitchens at the back of the house. They’re all made of masonry that’s been plastered inside and out. I’ll do another post just about the house, later on…..
When I walk out the front door and turn left, this is what I see….note the wall on your right - we’re at the back of campus, far from the busy road that runs by the entrance out front. On the left are the houses, lining the peripheral campus drive.
