Home 2009

So I had an awesome two weeks at home. I saw almost everyone I wanted to see and did almost everything I wanted to do.

The bad part was that almost every day I was at home I was getting called by my office (it was a terrible terrible mistake to give them my home number). There were two times I was out at bars when my mom called to say someone from the office called and needed to talk to me. I was actually cool with it at first but after a week I was far from happy with it. But thinking of work I also got an international drivers license and a 1 year multiple entry Chinese visa.

Some impressions about the US after being gone for a year: Americans are fat, not all cars have tinted windows, it is strange to hear English and see all white people (I was seriously caught off guard in LAX when all the people were white and at Fred Meyer when I heard a little kid speak English). I was also very happy to see that cleaning ladies are not in bathrooms while people take care of business. Most of all, I was pleasantly surprised to see more that 4 kinds of beer on supermarket shelves.

Basically, I had a great time at home. I saw a bunch of friends and family. We saw some movies, had some great food, drank some beer, and had some great times.
