Paper planes - In the hands of a child (in this case the children of the sea gypsy village), they were the tools that broke the ice! Versatile these game tools are, once they lift off from your hands, they can soar, cut through air, poke, glide, dive, into the water - soaked -, crushed, gone. Paper they are, planes they once were. I've launched my plane, now let me see where it flies.

Mrs Foo mentioned this. Said we should continue leading normal lives (ie read newspaper, exercise etc.) despite the once-in-a-lifetime experience coming right up. Well, my response to her would be that my life has always been what it is --- (almost) focussed.
