DC Reunion

The full photo set is hopefully coming from Sonja (including shots of her civics tour ala Anthony... apparently he took Sonja on a 4 hour march through the capital, down through the constitutional archives, the white house, the capital hill. She knows the difference now between the 17th and 19th amendment). Sonja! Anthony!

We had a dinner reunion with Sascha, Alejandra, Sonja, Anthony, Sarah, Dave and me as well. Also, Sascha's fiancee! It was sooo good. Unfortunately, no batteries in my camera (Dave even went home to pick up my camera, just as Leon did in Sao Paulo, a troubling theme in requesting courrier favors of my girlfriend's husbands).

Anyway, we need those pictures from Sonja.


But instead, here's Sarah and Dave waiting for our dinner.



The cocktail menu was very hip, and in a globalized language -- the esperanto of cool. Robert Wade would surely have something to say on ambiguous latin language sexifying the end of the alchohol value chain...



They were delicious.



As a Japanese tourist in DC we thought it only right to make peace signs. I want to go back to Asia! Jenny, we have to find a way.

What about photos of the monuments themselves? I couldn't manage it. My sense of direction and history is getting worse with time. I thought the Treasury Building was the White House! Dammit. I was with a colleague from the Carbon Conference, and belligerently and forcefully insisted, "This is it! It just looks bigger on TV. Here we are!"

In the DC train station, I was back in my comfort zone learning about colon cancer prevention.

Also got a surprise trip to California but I won't blog about that because no one else from LSE was there -- so far as I knew. I did, however, eat dim sum with my parents and thought of Jenny. J-chu, it's your turn to put some borneo and china photos up here!

Hey everyone!

I didnt know about the blog, I was actually thinking of where to post the photos. I also dont even know how to write a new post. I cant see the option anywhere. Is there a password to access it? Anyway, I'll do it as soon as I get back home from work, and get the photos off the camera, etc. But I promise they're coming soon :)!!!
