I intend to return to the USA for about 3 weeks or so in April or May, if possible.

I will be on a shoestring budget, as things are SO much more expensive in America, so it's difficult for me to save the money for a plane ticket AND running money. So, like I said, I'll be living on the charity of my friends for a bit. (Crash space and hopefully some transportation.)

My email is the same, jedmalkavian@yahoo.com. My address has changed. I don't have it on me, though, as I'm at work with no internet at my new place yet. I'll let you all know asap.

Racism is constant, continuous, and in your face here. There is simply no cultural mandate to say that racism is wrong. Minorities get paid less, it's a fact of life. White people are considered to be coarse and rude(though high paid) necessary evils here. Basically, they aren't shy about it. It's just their way.

"We understand that you have a doctorate from America. However, you are Chinese born, so you get paid less than the white teachers with Bachelor's degrees only." ---Actual quote from the head of HR to our new music teacher.
