After 2 years, back to Minnesoooota



A lot happens in a month. 30 days ago I was in Beijing cruising through the winding hutong alleyways in Beijing on a scooter admiring the unique characteristics of the city I love. November 4th, just after voting, I took an exhilarating spin on this beast of a motorbike around the flavorless suburban streets of Eden Prairie. I really felt like I was in a different world. After a quick spin on the motorbike I met with some good friends whom I haven't seen in a while for a bite to eat at my father's restaurant, Red Moon Chinese Cafe (as seen in the background).
It was nice to finally visit home and see my family and friends. I decided to come back home for a few reasons; vote, be with my family for the holidays, and re-asses my goals and priorities and decide if I want to continue to live in China or move back the the US. I thought I'd need a couple months but the answer became clear after about 24 hours. I want to go back to China and find a job and other opportunities.
