A little bit off topic...

...yes.  This isn't a traditional post topic, but it is an opportunity to get a free T-shirt.  

For just under a year now, I have been training in Muay Thai- the National sport of Thailand.  Also known as the "Art of Eight Limbs", I thought this would be a fun activity to keep me focused and fit while observing another culture.  
When I return from my research travels in September, I will extend my martial arts vocabulary by taking the Karate class offered by our school.  In preparation, I purchased a Gi- or a traditional karate uniform from Karatedepot.com.  By blogging about this purchase here, I will receive a free "Fire and Ice" T-shirt...and who doesn't love free stuff?!

PS. My research travels begin THIS FRIDAY!
