Below is one of the papers I wrote back in my college days. I’m posting it because I’m planning to elaborate on this topic more but focus in on Denver. The following is quite dry as academia tends to be, but I enjoyed writing this. If you like reading about education, discrimination, and politics then…

The past four weeks can be summed up with two words, “getting accustomed.” I have been getting accustomed to my work and all the processes, the expectations, and the communication. I have also been branching out and going to different events, meetups, and festivals. And so far, I have been enjoying it! I have found…

This is my first longer post where I discuss a topic in-depth. I have lots of thoughts, so this is one of the many to come. They will all vary in topic so a fair amount will talk politics, identity, Asian stuff, but also more philosophical topics and things like life lessons. Anyway, let’s jump…

Hello again. If you are following this blog through email, you may have noticed a couple of things have changed. I’ve changed my URL because I’m not traveling anymore. I’ve also changed my theme, which may or may not be a difference depending on what platform you use to view my blog. Anyway, I am…

I made a post talking a bit about London but I don’t think it published properly. Anyway, you can read that before this if you want. I’ll dive into the last post of my trip. Travel awards: Best foods: The dinners Song cooked in Gubeikou. I only have one picture and no close-up shots but…

I’m in the UK now. I’m tired as well. I don’t think I’m quite cut out for more than two months of travel. That or I reached a peak with China that is hard to get over. Anyway, I have been reminded why I like London. It’s beautiful. I love the architecture and the history.…

I didn’t write much about my last few days in China. I wrote that summary post but not much of the details. Just a couple of quick highlights. Jim, one of the managers, kept joking to other guests that I was the new staff. It was maybe partially because all the other guests were white…

I feel like Doctor Who’s Ten regeneration. (Doctor Who reference coming up so I’ll try to explain it). His regeneration is one of the most emotional moments of the show because David Tennant was one of the best doctors and Tennant himself was a fan of Doctor Who since he was a kid. So it…

Getting here has been the more stressful part of my journey. Nothing went wrong, in fact I’m surprised none of my travels have gone terribly wrong so far. It’s just no one speaks English and everyone are locals with a northern dialect that is much harder for me to understand. I could get by in…

I’ve really liked Shanghai. It’s already my last day here and I’m actually a bit sad. There’s so much I wanted to try and so much that I didn’t get to do. I took the metro and then walked to the Bund my first day. It was a foggy and cold day, there were a…
