Day 72: Glute and Hammy Workout
March 13, 2012
Just realized that these are some serious Gator colors going on here. Totally unintentional! It was 80 degrees today. The office was hot, my palms were sweating, and the sun was brutally attacking my desk. There are probably worse things. Like metal rods from hell. Overall I am pleased with daylight savings because it is … More Day 72: Glute and Hammy Workout
Day 61: The Ikea Experience
March 12, 2012
My first trip to Ikea happened in China! Random. We were on a mission to find a mattress pad since Chinese beds are a joke. For the last 4 nights I was sleeping on a lattice of metal rods supporting a cold-air chamber of doom. It was miserable and I would wake up each morning … More Day 61: The Ikea Experience
Day 71: Spring has sprung
March 11, 2012
Despite all the craziness that seems to be going on, I can’t help but smile at the beautiful spring weather we are having in St. Pete. As much as I talk about hating to live in the place I grew up, it really is paradise. I know I will love living in St. Pete when … More Day 71: Spring has sprung
Day 60: Old and New
March 11, 2012
China is full of contrasts. From luxury shopping malls to hole in the wall restaurants and ancient temples next to modern skyscrapers, the difference is exaggerated. Here, a neon orange grocery stores occupies a building from the late 19th century in the “French Concession.” Clean and dirty, ancient and modern, the past is never far … More Day 60: Old and New
Day 70: And Unexpected Day
March 11, 2012
Today’s photo of the day was taken on my Iphone while Holly begged me to show her some love. How can I resist that face? Today has been so unexpected in so many ways. On my way to visit Peter’s grandmother, I decided to park far away and walk. It was an absolutely gorgeous day … More Day 70: And Unexpected Day
Day 59: Finding balance across cultures
March 10, 2012
All cities in all countries have at least one thing in common… diversity. While China may not be as ethnically diverse as America, the range of socio-economic classes is just as wide. Like any other country in the world, China is a mix of people both wealthy and poor. While food is very cheap in … More Day 59: Finding balance across cultures
Day 69: International baseball
March 10, 2012
Tonight, in line with my recent trip abroad, I went to an International Baseball game! Every year during spring training, St. Pete hosts international minor league teams at Al Lang outdoor field. The weather was nice (75 degrees!) and the company was better. I met up with Megan, her friend, Aaron, and Jim and watched … More Day 69: International baseball
Day 58: Chinese street food
March 9, 2012
On Day 57 I posted a photo of a Chinese (French-based) grocery store. I believe that grocery stores are great cultural indicators. Let me explain for the sake of my anthropology degree. Food=Culture Food is something we consume everyday (duh). We have local rituals and traditions surrounding the type of food we eat, how we … More Day 58: Chinese street food
Day 68: Missing walking
March 9, 2012
Grapefruit from the day. I ended up not even eating it. Maybe tomorrow. It is pre-sliced! Today was a little rough due to lingering jetlag. I was wide awake at 5:30am and managed to lie in bed with my eyes closed till 7. Frustrated, I finally popped open a magazine and read really intellectual things … More Day 68: Missing walking
