I'm writing this blog to keep my friends and family updated on my culinary adventures in China. Besides just talking about me, I promise to keep you all updated on important world happenings, like who is the hottest commie in China, whether Batman really can beat Superman without using kryptonite, and if the USA will ever be the same without me. And then we'll talk food. Lots of food.

What will become of me?

One of my biggest concerns about returning home is what I will eat upon arrival on American soil. This is a serious issue, and I've been devoting more time than I should thinking about it. This sounds like a ridiculous question, but I assure you it is very serious indeed.

I've been eating Chinese food for nearly eight months now, and I keep wondering when I'll get sick of it. Fortunately that day never comes, and I'm just as happy eating today as I will be tomorrow. In fact, while the food I eat at home fills me, the food I eat here makes me happy. I've been trying to figure out a way to bring food home with me in my suitcases. How much can I take? What's currently available in the US? What can't I find at home? What will make good gifts? I've even gone so far as to check online to see what can be shipped.

This may not sound like much, but it is. I cannot express how good the food I eat is. My roommate and I used to sit and rave over each dish we ate. After a while, that became too redundant as every dish we ate was delicious. Now it takes a conscience effort to only say it was good.

What is to become of me?
