Your life just got easier!

Wow, this blog stuff is complicated. There are so many ways to configure it and way too many options that involve words like java script and html (which isn't exactly a word...). Anyways, I just spent the last 30 minutes of my life working hard to make your blogging experience an easy one.

My New Digs

So a lot more of the details are becoming clear now that I know where I'll be, especially concerning my living space. I'm lucky because I'm inheriting my teammate Peter's apartment, and he was gracious enough to take inventory of the things in the apartment AND to take a bunch of pictures so I don't have to imagine and/or be surprised when I show up. Thanks, Peter!! Here are some of them for your viewing pleasure!


The alley leading up to the apartments (don't freak out, this is normal):


My new bed, complete with extra comfy mattess pad:


Simple kitchen:


Microwave and toaster oven!


Typical Chinese bathroom (aka Water Closet):

At least I'll have hot water and a semi-regular toilet!!
