Well,

After being away for what? nine days? I was greeted by my four sons and husband. My eighteen-year-old is the most inquisitive one and thus asked me, "Mom, what did you learn?"
We had a long chat and there were many things that I told him I didn't know about Asia for example: that there are more Chinese web users than Americans (200 million web users), Korea has the highest internet connection (10x faster than the U.S.), Carafor is the equivalent of Walmart in China, that in 1990 there was an immigration wave from Asia to the U.S. (3 million didn't return to their country), and I also told him about our debate on the four prominent philosophies in Asia during the Warring Period.

It's been nice watching the Olympic Games with him; he's a little upset with me because I told him I was betting on China winning the men's basketball game. I kept saying, "Go China!!!"

The only downfall about the seminar was that there was just too much information to digest. I am still going over my notes and going back to some assigned readings to make sure I have my facts right. I am sure that as my knowledge on Asia grows I will be able to share what I know with others.

Go China!!!
