Beards and China and walking

9/2/2009

Hey readers,

After I graduated from college, I spent a few months bumming around China.  It was a super fun and confusing (mostly confusing) time in my life, and once I figured out that A) Mandarin was super difficult, B) teaching kids English sucked really hard and C) I could only eat noodles so many hours of the day, this was when I started to write.

Disney wouldn't let me use this for my author photo.  Just FYI.   
So, China will always hold a special place in my heart. 

And once I heard that somebody made a video of their beard growth while spending a year walking across China...well, let's just say it spoke to me.  Because I too grew a beard in China, and spent a good deal of time walking.  Granted, this walking usually occurred when I got lost trying to find the subway, but I still feel like me and this dude have some kind of spiritual kinship.

That is very cool that you were able to visit China. I did not know that Benjamin Esch was such a seasoned traveler.
Also, that video was amazing! I seriously did not expect to enjoy it. But I did! Immensely!
Facial hair does it again.

Failure by that committee would trigger automatic cuts in programs beloved by Democrats and Republicans, respectively, unless Congress later this year passed a Constitutional amendment requiring balanced budgets.
