End: Date

Game, set, match. There's an end in sight, and it's not far off.

December 20, 2006.

That will be the end of my international travels. I will return to life in Minnesota, and enjoy the cold and snow. I'm sure some of you are excited, and others disappointed. In either case, this blog will not end, and will instead transition to covering the more mundane aspects of my life. Like new fences and basements!

I can't help but look back and take stock of this experience. Overall, it's been one of the best things I've ever done. Expanding my comfort zone, and seeing and doing things I once thought unimaginable. Both from a work and personal perspective, I've learned far more than I thought, and been lucky enough to meet and work with some incredible people. Part of me wishes I could stay forever, but a much larger piece misses the comfort of home and familiar faces.

For those of you in Asia, thank you for all of your help and good times. If you're ever in Minnesota, look me up. For those of you in the States, I'll see you soon!
