T Minus a Couple of Hours

The past couple of days I've been in San Francisco for what the PC calls staging, an informal meet and greet with the fellow volunteers. We went over the basics; primary goals of the PC, safety guidelines, and all that good stuff on cultural awareness. Since I'm pressed on time and wants to sleep early tonight to wake up early for check-out and what not, I'll just make bullet points for all the cool happenings and interesting observations that I might have of the staging weekend.
  • I knew San Francisco was built on hills, but never thought it was this hilly.
  • I've never seen so many Asians outside of Asia in one city.
  • Training in the morning and afternoon, party at night!
  • So many cool people to hang out with, so little time.
  • Walked with a group of PC Trainees around SF for over 10 miles just to see the Golden Gate Bridge and for food.
  • Off to Mongolia very very soon.

Ever Closer...

Received my ticket and itinerary from Sato travel today, so the date is drawing ever closer. And a little over a week from now, I will be boarding a plane for San Francisco and then on to Mongolia we fly! So friends (the ones I didn't say good bye to already), make your appointments.

To those that were with me this past weekend, THANK YOU! thank you for a wonderful time, it was an experience that I will never forget (Flaming Lamborghini+ Scorpion Bowl= death of Trinh). Thanks to those that came out for the World Pub Golf, and thank you for the extremely awesome going away gift. I'm sadden by the fact that many of you were too far away to make it to the event, but it is your thoughts that makes me appreciate it even more.

And of course the Worcester HS crew, it was good seeing all of you again! I'm glad to see that we can revert to our HS ways on the flip of a dime. 5 years, so long.. so much has changed, yet I'm glad that we still retain our childish immaturity.

And thus ends my sentimental post.
