Today a new student arrived from China and I told him where to go and yada yada, gave him a map and sent him on his way. As our conversation was coming to a close he was fumbling in his pocket and produced a gift for me. He handed me a keychain and said, "Here's a gift for you."
It's an Olympics souvenir representing the stadium where the swimmers compete. Yes, that's a pig next to it to better show you the scale of this keychain.
He was trying to tell me what it was and mentioned people "fighting" in there, and then said swimming, so I figured he meant "competing". But I'm sure there's some fighting, too.
The keychain for the mail-room key recently broke and I've been waiting for just the right one to replace it. Perfect timing.

Back in high school me and this other kid would talk to this guy from Thailand all the time. Then one day he just showed up with a leather key chain of this native guy dancing for each of us. The leather looked hand made or something because it still had all the hair on it. I can't believe I lost it. That thing was awesome.
