life in the orient: September 2008
http://parkdinger.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Life in the orient. Monday, September 29, 2008. Yeah, I know.It's Been a While. Friday, September 26, 2008. Matthew and I decided rent some bicycles last Saturday afternoon and try to explore the island. We figured out the price was 5 Yuan per hour, per bicycle, with a 200 Yuan deposit each. We started to ride down the island ring road, which follows the coast. We later decided that it would be good to turn around and go explore downtown for a bit. Tuesday, September 23, 2008. Our lecture went really wel...

life in the orient: Quanzhou: Port of the World
http://parkdinger.blogspot.com/2008/10/quanzhou-port-of-world.html
Life in the orient. Tuesday, October 7, 2008. Quanzhou: Port of the World. This Shaolin temple was awesome to see! It is the home of Southern Shaolin KungFu, and taking pictures with this monk was pretty sweet. Very interesting about Quanzhou - and fascinating to think of Zheng's adventures. Great pic of the boat and raft in the fore ground. I'm guessing this is the shipping channel around Xiamen. October 13, 2008 at 9:43 AM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I blog to differ.

life in the orient: October 2008
http://parkdinger.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Life in the orient. Thursday, October 23, 2008. So I'm in Xiamen, China. And I'm enjoying my trip more and more with each passing day. I miss you all back at home, and look foward to seeing you when I get back, but I really am loving it here. There's things that you can only learn by getting away: seeing and thinking about issues from an outsider's perspective allows you to become so much more aware of your own biases and inconsistancies in your thoughts, beliefs, and motives. And i think i'm ready.

life in the orient: One More Time.
http://parkdinger.blogspot.com/2009/11/one-more-time.html
Life in the orient. Wednesday, November 18, 2009. As Thanksgiving is quickly approaching, my thoughts are called back to our hodgepodge, makeshift celebration. Although with family and relatives this year in a more traditional setting, 12 months ago this November 27th will be the standard to which all Turkey Days will be measured against. You still have part of me. Please don't let go. I need you to hold on. December 8, 2009 at 2:07 AM. December 25, 2009 at 5:03 AM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

life in the orient: Thanksgiving, or something along those lines.
http://parkdinger.blogspot.com/2008/11/thanksgiving-or-something-along-those.html
Life in the orient. Saturday, November 29, 2008. Thanksgiving, or something along those lines. It's been an eventful week. Aunt Janet decided to come across the world to visit me while over her week off from teaching, so we've been visiting a lot of her old friends and meeting some new ones in the process. It's been fun to see and hear about how Xiamen and China has changed over the last 20 years, for both the better and the worse. Janet knew some people through her school that were affiliated with an or...
