January 19, 2011 – 2:13 pmThe hot season is over, and locals and visitors are breathing a sigh of relief as temperatures drop to the merely unbearable. Likewise, murders have fallen in frequency, probably also due to the seasonal changes, and we should be able to expect at least a 50% chance of living through the next few months.
With the mild season also comes the usual increase in the number of Jawas in the streets of our fair city. While we embrace the flow of commerce that inevitably surrounds Jawa arrivals, we must officially caution against the many cultural misunderstandings that can arise. Please do not make the (offensive, and occasionally fatal) mistake of considering Jawas to be primitive, childish, or easily intimidated.
Nobody has put together a serious scientific study of the migratory habits of the Jawa population, so consider this an invitation. Then again, bookish types asking too many questions seem to be in even shorter supply than usual, so we may have to extend this opportunity to offworlders.
