New folks in and around Changsha, friends I've lost touch with while being out of the coutry, high school classmates who lost out on the email thing because we were just a little too old for that, Rochesterarians who are looking for their country-fellows doin some fun stuff, other world travelers who need support for their wonderful decision.
Ska, Swing, Quality
Still a sucker for The Matrix. If you haven't seen "Kung Fu Hustle," rent it. It is the best mix of comedy, special effects, martial arts, and Chinese culture. And the main actor/director is one of China's most gifted entertainers of his time.
Seinfeld, Simpsons, C.S.I.
Read as many as you can.
My parents and siblings. Siddhartha Gautama, Frederick Douglass...you know, anyone who has followed their hearts and their minds to improve their lives and the lives of those around them deserves a slot on this list. Insert Name Here: ______________________
