#32 - Things You Don't Expect to Hear in China #1

I live closer now to 1) a McDonald's 2) a WalMart 3) a Starbucks than I ever have before.

This is the truth. Oh, and McDonald's delivers for free 24 hours a day. I haven't taken advantage of that yet though.

This isn't your same old school China anymore boy and girls.

#30 - Friends around Asia - Japan edition

I just got back from travels to Thailand, the Philippines and Hong Kong. I'll be sharing stories and pics soon. Until then check out my friend Jesse Hieb and his blog about his doings in Japan. He was a social worker in Milwaukee and has moved to Japan where he grew up to help with some relief work from the Tsunami last year.
