I saw the picture above in the news today and just couldn’t help but laugh. As I sit here in SF contemplating my new job opportunities, I must admit that I’ve given a spit second thought to the NSA, CIA and FBI due to international experience and language abilities. However, in light of current events…… Continue reading Poor FBI

Move to San Francisco
It’s been a week here in San Francisco and I’ve been all over this town. One thing I’ve learned is that you can’t even move without money pouring out of your pockets. EVERYTHING is expensive. Even walking down the street there are a lot of homeless asking for change. It’s hard to drop coins after…… Continue reading Move to San Francisco
Move to San Francisco
I’m now sitting in a Starbucks café here in San Francisco. I can’t believe I’m back in the USA and my head has been spinning ever since I landed. One thing I can say is that I hate culture shock and jet-lag. I really need to write down all the culture shock aspects but for…… Continue reading Move to San Francisco
At Narita Airport – Move to San Francisco
Well, the day has come to move back to America and the culture shock has already begun.

But I’m tired of watching movies yet too lazy to get out of the house. I don’t…… Continue reading Saigon Stories – Cambodia
A Wapanese? – White people that like Asian culture
Recently, I’ve been reading blogs, journals and so on to get myself mentally prepared for my return to America. In particular I’ve been reading about race relations between Asians and Americans just so I can have an understanding about how San Francisco might be for my girlfriend who is Japanese. I’ve found a lot of…… Continue reading A Wapanese? – White people that like Asian culture
Voyeurism on CNN
I’ve had rants about CNN before and thought that another would not be necessary but I just couldn’t hold back posting about this. First, I have said that I hate CNN, which I do, but unfortunately they put out the big stories first and it appears that no one has the reach CNN does internationally.…… Continue reading Voyeurism on CNN
