a collection of journal entries for my family regarding my life in china.
So walking to get a bite to eat today for lunch i saw two early twenties tennie-boppers "henceforth known as bitches" driving a new Ferrari down a tiny "look at me as i can go no faster than 10 mph in my Ferrari" road. They had pasted cartoon dolls on the dashboard to "cuten it up" i suppose. The sight of this made me furious... and i thought i would share.

I lived in China for 7 years in Ningbo and Beijing. In that time i accomplished my goals of wanting to not just visit, but live in another country. To experience a new culture, learn a new language and challange my own thinking and views of the world. China gave me that in spades, whether i liked it or not! It was one of the most difficult and rewarding times of my life. After 6 months traveling South America for yet another new language and culture i began to realize that i didn't just want to be a stranger in a strange land anymore jumping from country to country. I wanted to experience something a bit more permanent? I'm currently adjusting to being a stranger in my own country.
