About
Grew up in a small town, and after traveling, I've officially decided that a big city is the only place to be. You know, with revolving doors, late-night cabs, street vendors, all that good stuff.
From LA to Beijing to New York, and back to LA again. Where to?
Current city: Shanghai

Today is the first USC football game of the season, wish I could hop on a plane and fly to Hawaii to be there! I miss the feeling of baking in the sun, pumping my victory sign and cheering with friends. Homecoming or ND, gotta make it to one. Fight on!!!
My boy’s coming to China! Thank goodness for trans-Atlantic flights… Google indicates that kayaking from Washington to Hawaii, then from Hawaii to Shanghai, is the practical way to reach China. We think otherwise.
Every 11:11 wish, crossed finger and bedtime prayer is coming true. Now I can start crossing days off the calendar :) My heart is so happy it might burst.
*Addendum: If this is too mushy for you (ahem, Brandon) be thankful I didn’t connect the dots and draw a giant, pink heart across the Atlantic Ocean. I thought about it…
“I think you just try to do your best, see where you can have the biggest impact and try not to hurt others. Life pretty much unfolds all on its own.”
- an email from Aaron, whom I met on a Boltbus from NYC to Philly. I love when you meet a stranger, strike up a conversation that gets past superficialities, then keep in touch with said stranger and become friends. That seems to happen to me a lot :)

A video about Shanghai’s street food scene, featured on CNT’s blog aggregator. It’s like watching live art. Yum.
Owl City - Cave In
If the bombs go off, the sun will still be shining
Because we’ve heard it said that
Every mushroom cloud has a silver lining
Though I’m always undermining too deep to know
Newly obsessed with The West Wing... 10 years late
- Mrs. Landingham: Josh, aren't you a little old to be leering at college coeds?
- Johs: I'm a Fulbright scholar, Mrs. Landingham, I don't leer...
- Also, there will be plenty of grad students there!
Dream destination: Fiji
Since before I can remember, the location I’ve dreamed of visiting is Fiji. Pristine beaches, snapshot-worthy sunsets, village huts - what else is wanting? Maybe I’ll make it happen, since I’m on this side of the world and all. Just need to start a Fijian piggy bank, asap.
