Hi, Just trying this out. Always thought blogging was a bit for the dorks and nerds of the world. But as Lewis Skolnick taught the world, sometimes you can still get the girl.

So over the course of my 10-month adventure in a foreign land. Please feel free to follow along, comment, and enjoy my experiences. To set the record straight, I will be a Zeidman Fellow (through Sidwell Friends) and required to study mandarin Chinese at Beijing Foreign Studies University. Geographically I would designate Beijing as the Boston of China...shit. Sounds awful. But instead of Matt Damon and a whole lot of Irish Catholics, I'll be friends with Jackie Chan and the girl from the 2008 olympics who had a great voice but not good looking enough to be put on TV..

Should be interesting....let's see what happens! A good friend of mine, who I've learned a lot from, taught me a valuable life lesson which I will carry with me for a long time.

Good people + Good vibes = Good times

Simple math. Next step, let's find some good people.
