Once upon a time, I was required to create a blog (titled “Adventures in Beijing”) of my studies in Beijing which was paid for by Macaulay Honors College. It has been dormant for quite a long time, but since I’ve been wanting a place to archive and share some personal family stories, here we are in 2023… after my most recent visit to China. Most of these posts are diary-like and highlight the day-to-day activities in roughly chronological order. Throughout the posts you’ll see some thoughts highlighted in a separate box like below:
Text in these boxes are smaller and contain a mixture of personal thoughts and feelings about a particular event. I don’t know if it makes it more or less noticeable in the box, but I think it’s helpful to separate some of messiness of my inner thoughts from the more descriptive documentation of what happened on a given day.
Text in these boxes can generally be skipped over if you’re more interested in knowing the events that occurred on that day rather than how I felt about them.
In any case, I hope to continue to add memories here for close friends and family to read and revisit, and perhaps I’ll reflect on my past journal entries too.

Notes: I was very different ten years ago and not all content has been reviewed for respectful language, pronouns, or problematic thoughts. Some content has been password protected out of sensitivity to my family members. This page is also still managed by Macaulay eportfolios.
