On this road pt 2

Road trip:

Drove through the South to move my sister out of her old and into her new apartment in Savannah, Ga. Unfortunately the trip was rather under-documented on my end, with the exception of my requested pit stop at the Georgia Guidestones, an azimuthally aligned monolithic entity shrouded in New Age conspiracy speculation and reactionary religious retaliation. A massive mantra in multiple languages (which at points sounds borderline eugenic) situated on a small hill in provincial Elberton, Ga, self-proclaimed granite capital of the world. An anomalous monument.

So, I got a job in China that basically looks like this. I'll be working at a software startup for the next two years. I'm relocating to Beijing in 10 hours. I was just reading this post from my last China pre-departure, it's funny how my life makes these circles. For my last night in the USA I visited some friends in Los Angeles' Chinatown. And I've just been invited to a Texas themed party in Beijing. Ha.

Above is the full moon of August 27, 2007, cultural signal of auspicious beginnings for Native Americans who call it the Green Corn Moon, and incidentally also of significance for students of solar/lunar conflict as this night also saw a total lunar eclipse (though I didn't witness this due to clouds and encroaching city lights). If you've seen this blog before you'll be aware of the sparse modifications and frequent regenerations it's undergone over the years. Previous posts are still available to anyone who can remember a snatch of words with which to search for them (alternately some can be found on paper here).

This most recent rebirth has taken place so I can use this as a part-time travelogue during my forthcoming 3.5(+?) month trip to China. I'll be based in Kunming for the majority of this time, but will also travel extensively around Yunnan province and in the later part of this year will visit Xi'an, Beijing, and other as of yet undecided locales. Check in to see if I make good on my promise to keep the world apace of my linguistic, philosophical, gastronomic (et al) struggles through a culture and land I've heretofore idly dreamt about and into which I am now (it is just this moment occurring to me) about to plunge headfirst.

see you on the other side
Josh
