Goodbye U.S.

This is my last post from within the United States. Its currently 8:15am and I write this while the morning commuter traffics clogs the 405; which is right outside my window. The sun is bright, shiny and warm as it should be in Southern California. In approximately five hours we'll be on a plane bound for Hong Kong and around fourteen hours later we'll be landing in Hong Kong. The current temperate in Hong Kong is approximately the same as in the U.S so there won't be much of a temperature shock. Culture shock, however, is another thing.

Although I've been there before this time its different. This time its not a quick vacation, its at least a year-long endeavor into learning a language and really discovering a new culture, society and way of life. Our bags are packed, the plane is waiting and well there is always opportunity knocking.

My next blog entry will be from China! Until then...silence
