Repatriation

Four months following my last entry on Fortune and Glory International, I have returned to the United States. My absence on this blog and its lack of consistent, or any, entries is due to the courtesy of the Chinese government who blocked internet users from accessing blogger.com. I have however consistently kept notes and even written entries in word format that will be posted in the near future. For now, I would just like to express that despite having come back sans fortune and glory, and without much more than gifts for my family, I had an incredible time in China. I was both sad to leave and thrilled to return.

I would have updated sooner but, I arrived back in the States on December 22nd and had my wisdom teeth taken out on the morning of Christmas Eve. I have since recovered and plan to post a reflection on many of the more memorable moments of the trip, including the traveling seminar which took us to Xi'an and Shanghai, and my impressions on the state of Beijing in a post-Olympic state.

I miss Beijing however, I am glad to be back in New York and eager to report on the state of the job hunt from the perspective of a fresh graduate. Happy New Year.

And yes, I am drinking a beer at the Great Wall in this picture.
