Justein

At the library everyone is plugged into photography and photoshop and they create a poster to introduce themselves. Just because I was a teacher didn't mean that I was exempt. So I asked my sister, the whiz photographer and photoshopper, to create a poster for me.

This is what she made...

I fell out of my chair laughing, but the real experiment was to see what the kids would think. University level physics students do not recognize the middle photo. Every day I get questions about it, "Is that you Grandfather?" Amazing that only one person has recognized the middle photo as a famous person, and even then could not say who it was or why he was famous.

Is there a need for science teachers in Laos?

Bwah-hahahahahaha!

That's rich, man. Kudos to your sister.

Interesting though, that even though Einstein is famous - most people don't REALLY know why his work was so significant, besides - "you know, he was a genius, and invented the atom bomb, or something, right?" even in "highly" educated countries. Maybe the people in Laos are just more honest. ;)
