Kai Wen Your gift of China's culture precedes your return via your blog.
Thanks again for the treat of words, which open the other senses, sight, smell, touch, to China. Love Auntie Debbie
Hi Chris -from neighbor Marie's son... Hi Chris! You're rather a prolific writer. I really can empathize w/ you. I went away to study for a whole year at the Free University of West Berlin. But I was already about 27 when I did that. My mother (and stepfather Jim) are your next-door neighbors on Montgomery Drive. They are fast approaching the end of their life journeys. At that point you may see more of me. The women in my life for 17 tempestuous, on-and-off again years was from Beijing. I have a great admiration for the Chinese myself. My mother's parents escaped from the Soviet Union - traveling to Turkey by paying a fisherman who helped them escape in his boat. Did you know that? You certianly have my support and admiration in your endeavors. Whar organization did all this go through?

A window opens Hey Chris, Aunt Debbie here saying I look forward to each blog! Educational, experential, exquisite! A window on a world I have not seen, but now, in another way, have. Thank you for the gift of your time and effort. Love ya!
Good to hear from you, buddy Given that we are something like 7,000 miles away from each other, I feel lucky to be able to read about your endeavors when you have the opportunity to record them.
Though I could go into details and comments about specific events ad infinitum, let me simply say that I am glad to hear that you are safe, healthy, and enjoying the journey. It sounds like an extraordinary adventure that is unfolding for you, and it's very entertaining to read about it. And I see that despite a lack of formal education of late, your prose style has not lost its fervor nor its wit.
You should know that your poem remains on my wall here in Philadelphia.
Indeed, the adventure continues!
Miss you buddy,
Kenny
P.S. I haven't been able to find your pictures on Flickr. This could be due to my ineptitude, but it's possible something isn't functioning properly with your postings, privacy settings, etc. Just thought you should know.
I\'m so glad to read this and hear that you\'re doing well. Not only are you surviving in a \"whole different world\" by yourself, you\'re thriving! Keep making friends and keep having adventures, but also be cautious. Sending millions of good thoughts your way! Keep writing!
