When we visited Port Weld (near Taiping) we were walking along a road when we passed an abandoned house with no windows or doors. Through one of the windows I glimpsed some washing hanging on the line outside the house behind it.
"Wait!" I said. "I have to take a picture!"
The Man and my friend pretended to be disgusted.
"You're taking a picture of underwear?" said The Man. "Yarashii!"
"Typical!" said my friend, and they both laughed.
What kind of person do they think I am? Maybe they were looking at underwear, but I was looking at an unintentional work of art.
(That's my excuse anyway, and I'm sticking to it.)

Links for language teachers
I have noticed that I get a lot of hits from people searching "present simple" and "ESL," and assume that this is language teachers looking for ideas or lesson plans. The following links are good places to start.
ESL Lounge Here you will find lesson plans organised by level. A fantastically useful site for busy teachers, and easy to navigate.
British Council Here lesson plans are organized by topic. There are more teaching activities in the 'downloads' section.
The Internet TESL Journal
They have not updated this page for a while, but there is still a lot you might find useful.
Humanising Language Teaching
This is an online journal, good for ideas, inspiration, and especially good towards the end of semester when you're feeling not quite human.
Dave's ESL Cafe
Almost too much to wade through, but a very useful resource. Lots of links to other sources.
Karin's ESL PartyLand
This is a page specifically dealing with teaching simple present and present progressive. I have not tried any of these, but there are a lot of ideas here, and they look good. At the very least you will be inspired.
Good luck!

That's a wonderful image!! Tell the Man and your friend "Pbbbbffffftttttt" - as they don't know art when they see it!!
Fabulous--people spend hours in Photoshop layering a B&W photo into a color photo to create some real eye candy---this would be a great wallpaper!
Beautiful art! First,I thought that was a bird.
Not 'Yarashii!'at all:D
Great shot! I'm with ya.
Portrait would have been great too, hard in on the window area. Great capture!
