I just came back from a weekend at the beach. No. I didn't go to vacation. I went to work. I scored another gig with my aunt's travel agency. They were managing the operation for the Royal Princess from Princess Cruises and as always they needed responsible English-speaking hard working young people and they pay well and cover all travel and living expenses while we work so it really isn't a bad gig at all. The only problem with it is that these...

Hello! So I've finally finished posting all of my trip-related posts. I hope you enjoyed them. I'm currently back in Quito, carrying out the plan to finally move out. I have yet to actually find a job (besides another tourism gig in Manta this week) but I've applied to a couple of places and am hoping to hear back soon. Meanwhile, I've been working on all of my backlogged stuff, and sending out slews and slews of emails and working on a script revision. I kinda realized that I've kind of neglected my own personal projects as of late in favor of...
April 13, 2011 - Somewhere over the continental United States between NYC, NY and Miami, FLSo I'm on my way back to Quito after a long long time of being away. A big part of me dreads it. Feels that Quito is not the place I should be in right now, or will be in for much longer. You see, I've made up my mind to move out of Quito by September or October at the latest. And I've decided that my best options right now are going to Beijing or New York....
April 11, 2011 - On the Metro-North Train from Poughkeepsie, NY to Grand Central Terminal, NYC, NYI miss riding this train all the time. The Metro-North brings back fond memories of soothing beginnings and endings at Vassar. I must admit it was a relief to be on it sans two 50-lbs bag that I would have to drag through Grand Central Terminal and then on the snow outside across Park Avenue to get to the JFK/LGA Airport Bus. All the same. The ride down...

April 8, 2011 - Upper West Side, New York City, NY, USASo I've been wandering around NYC for the past week mostly on my own. I've also been working (stuff to do for a company gets a little backlogged when one is skipping about inner China) and looking for work. I've been doing this mostly on my own because M is badass and uber-busy with her 3 internships.Yeah.THREE.Oh. She is also taking 2 courses at NYU's school of continuing education.Again.Let's...

April 4, 2011 - Over the International Date Line, The Pacific OceanAsia is about 4000 km behind me at this point. I'm about 5 hours into the flight somewhere over the Pacific moving at 1059 km/hr. Actually, the flight path thingy says we're over the international date line right now. Weird.Asia - I'm kind of happy to leave it behind. Don't get me wrong. I love Asia but I think enough of it was experienced in this trip. Truth be told, Asia just confused me more about my path in life. I mean, I have the company and the filmmaking but it really reminded...
April 4, 2011 - Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China(1) Taxis will actually refuse to take you somewhere. Like the one this morning which caused me to be late to the Gaotie (bullet train) to Shanghai,(2) Some asshat stole my train ticket (worthless at this point) as I scrambled to figure out how the f$!# he Hangzhou train station worked,(3) You can't pay for your ticket with a credit card at most ticket kiosks at the station. And the one where you can, doesn't take waiguo (foreign) credit cards even if they're Visa or Mastercard,(4) The bank is located OUTSIDE...
Just a Map of my trip in China to give you a reference for the route:Key to Map:A - Shanghai, ChinaB - Beijing, ChinaC - Hong Kong, Hong KongD - Xi'An, Shaanxi, ChinaE - Kaifeng, Henan, ChinaF - Luoyang, Henan, ChinaG - Zhengzhou, Henan, ChinaH - Hangzhou, Zhejiang, ChinaAnd a Map of Asia in general: *I just noticed that Japan is HUGE. Did anyone else know that??? Maybe I'm just being dense...I chalk it up to the education system never showing us...
April 3, 2011 - Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, ChinaI arrived to Hangzhou early in the evening last night. I was surprised to note that it was surprisingly colder than it had been up north in Kaifeng, Luoyang, and Zhengzhou. I chalked it off to me being lucky and getting nice spring weather while up North. The taxi dropped me off at the Orange Hotel in Moganshan Lu (Moganshan Road) and after checking in and dropping my bags in my room (and discovering...

April 2, 2011 - Somewhere in the air between Zhengzhou, Henan, China and Hangzhou, Zhejiang, ChinaOur train ride up to Luoyang wasn't nearly as exciting as the one to Kaifeng unfortunately - nor were the seats as comfortable (same kind of train, but the seats were harder for some odd reason). That was ok though considering the train to Luoyang only took about 2-3 hours (I forget exactly how long). When we arrived, we were slightly disappointed by...
March 31, 2011 - On the Way to Luoyang, ChinaI'm a little sad to be leaving Kaifeng behind. We had a really lovely time in the city being the only Western-looking foreigners walking around. It really started with the adventure of actually taking the train from Xi'An to Kaifeng. While I was at the Warriors on the 28th, NW had called me up to inform me that all of the 40 RMB train tickets to Kaifeng had been sold out and that all that were left were...
