Poor Little Blog, Still

Hi everyone! The Internet is still running too slowly for me to do
much on the American web. If I can't get some of my photo posts up
soon, perhaps I'll delight you with some fascinating picture-less prose.

Feel free to dig around in the archives while you're waiting. Since
starting this blog, I've written somewhere around 500 posts and I'd
guess about 100,000 words. Some of my favorite stuff includes the "Is
this normal?" series, the "In their own words" posts, travel wrap-ups,
and posts about celebrating American holidays in China. Have fun!
