...guess you can call my life stressful, chaotic and filled with hard work. When taking a look at it all, I see past this and notice how fortunate I am to have not only a mother and a father but food every day and a roof over my head. I am sure that even in my most stressful moments, I have it easier than more than half the world. Still, I find it ironic writing about how occupied my schedule is when I barely have enough time to write...
Facing each other in a tight circle, fingers spread and palms making a sharp crack as they clap, the men of the village of Ianapus tattoo the dark ground with their rhythmic stomping. In contrast to the chaotic rainforest that covers most of their island of Tanna, the surface of the men's dancing ground is bare earth, compacted and smooth from countless years of ritual. Today their strong voices sing here for the success of the yam harvest and the bounty of gardens to come. Young boys, clad like their fathers and uncles only in the nambas, or penis...

This ambitious scheme has got off to a somewhat stumbling and chaotic start. State bankers at the end of 1984 overused their new authority and went on such a wild lending spree that the People's Bank of China, the country's central bank, had to tell them to stop. Factory bosses, in contrast, widely complain that they are still waiting for confirmation from local party and government officials that they can begin exercising the new freedoms they supposedly were granted at the start of 1985. For the first time, Deng is proposing to crimp seriously the powers and privileges...
