GEIS to the VILLE

Culture shock in full effect, there was no easing back in-- just crash course gyserville. Ive made up for 6 months of being m.i.a. within a matter of 3 days. Gyser tradition will be held every year, without spouses (unless they were in the orginial crew as is with the case of trisha and sean) mark is taking a 20 year break because hes moving to europe. hateration was prevelent, natylight, jeiger, meat and cheeze. lets go to in&out. no matter where we go, its still bayarea folife.

Vietnam and Cambodia

this was my last little excursion through asia, it was amazing. I have only 3 or 4 more days till i have to leave hong kong and im starting to feel really really sad about leaving. What makes it easier is talking to friends about summer plans and the fact that my good friends from hong kong are already gone. Im trying to be positive and think.. "i got the opportunity to have this really amazing expirience and meet amazing people and really get to know a beautiful city" instead of feeling sorry for myself, and thinking that i have to leave. (but sometimes i still feel sad) here are some pics from cambodia-- i forgot my charger so my vietnam pics will come when tri gets back because he took the rest of my pics from the trip.

Vietnam was incredible especially because tri, phil and angel all had family there who took care of us and showed us around. We got to stay with phils uncle, his mom took us out to dinner, tris cousin came with us to different cities as a guide and his aunt took us to pho, and angles cousin showed us the night life of saigon. I LOVED vietnam, absolutely loved it. it was very unique and alive, good food, nice people.

why i love hong kong

Beijing!

 i had the good fortune of being able to meet up with my

 good friends from mun at the Harvard International Model

Un conference hosted by Peking University. I was an

amazing week- Dale and i flew in from Hong Kong and got

to stay in the hotel for free with our friends. While they were

 in committee most of the day, dale and i explored the city. At

 night we hung out with our friends from home. In many

ways this felt like a little commercial break away from china

(oddly enough)  because they were friends from home, i ate at

   places like fridays and hard rock, and it was a conference..

all in all i had an amazing week. =)
