Today I obtained a Social Security Number. Now the American Government can track all the money I earn, the places I go and the jobs I apply for. This sort of creeps me out, but the upside is worth it. I'm now actually legal to work here.

I just got home from a night full of conversation. I'm all full up. It's so nice to hear new opinions, rehash old stories, and find out what is new in people's lives.

I have looked at a number of options in terms of coming home for American Thanksgiving. I think it is a real possibility at this point. I can fly for $200 ish dollars. Take the Greyhound for approximately the same price, or try this Megabus for $150. Frankly I think the extra fifty dollars is worth saving the ten hour bus trip, but maybe I'm just ( Read more... )

I am home! The week in China was eye opening and throat damaging, (terrible air pollution)but we survived. I just wish I could get a good night's sleep. It is rare that you'll find me awake at 5am.
