		<title>1000 a Day &#8211; Day 1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I&#8217;m starting a new project. It&#8217;s a writing project. And I&#8217;d like to take this time to update as some things have happened, most pertinent of which being that we&#8217;ve decided to go to Hong Kong this next round of Visa juggling. But the writing. So as some of you may know, it&#8217;s relatively [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Psychologies of Blogging</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;or &#8220;why I suck at it.&#8221;
So it&#8217;s quite late, and I&#8217;ve been tossing and turning in bed for a good while now. The issue is that I&#8217;ve been all of a sudden sick again, and it&#8217;s not been that great of an experience. I really do believe it&#8217;s due to the sudden changes in the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Chinese New Year 2010 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So it&#8217;s been over an hour, and it&#8217;s still not finished. So much for peace and quiet? Here&#8217;s the video by the way! I watched for 10 minutes, recorded 8 minutes, got bored and stopped watching, cropped it down to 2 minutes to upload, and spent 15 minutes figuring out the Flash embed stuff.

		<title>Chinese New Year 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So it&#8217;s my first Chinese New Year spent in China actually, since I was little anyways. I wasn&#8217;t sure what to expect, and I&#8217;m still not entirely sure what to expect seeing as the festivities go on for a week apparently. I knew there were going to be fireworks, but not like this, and not [...]]]></description>

		<title>Connections Bar &amp; Grill</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So it&#8217;s been a very long time since we&#8217;ve posted. And it may be even longer until the next post. Nor will this post be very substantive as far as its text is concerned. To summarize though&#8230;

Our visas still haven&#8217;t been processed. We need to leave the country again come March 15th.
My mother, who was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Onward to Seoul, again</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Which must mean that once again, our visas are about to expire. Apparently it&#8217;s gotten a lot harder than it used to since the Olympics for someone to get a F or Z visa. The F is the &#8220;foreigner in the country but looking for work&#8221; visa that would have let us stay for up [...]]]></description>

		<title>Practical Beijing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After three months, I have figured out how to get most of the essential bits &#8211;for my conception of &#8220;living well&#8221;&#8211; in place.  I can buy food; I can buy office supplies; I can mail things; I have a Western gym; I can re-charge my subway card.  I&#8217;ve decided to record some of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Some forward momentum</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So there&#8217;s been some progress, as can be noted by my and our general absence from this blog. 
First, my IFC (International Festival Chorus) Messiah concert has been postponed until the 19th of December. Apparently they&#8217;ve been having more and more problems getting government approval to perform Handel&#8217;s Messiah in a public venue, and it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Seoul Photos</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Seoul was lovely, though we both thought it looked very much like any major city in the US, specifically San Francisco. By the time our trip was over, we were calling it San Francisco. We were quite lucky with the weather, which was gorgeous. A funny story though, we had trouble finding trash cans while [...]]]></description>

		<title>Onward to Seoul!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Having successfully hopped, skipped, and jumped over to Korea for the sake of sorting out our visas, I thought I&#8217;d put down some of my thoughts on the entire process and Korea in general.
1) Everything&#8217;s expensive there, basically the same price as in the US, but in won, which makes everything looks horribly expensive because [...]]]></description>
