Today, as part of the "March to the Mailbox" Census outreach day, I canvassed the streets of Boston's Chinatown. I stood outside a 'Ming's Supermarket,' passing out free t-shirts, hats, and information on the Census in Chinese. Of course this made me think of home.
I miss:
soy milk from bowery and grand
20 for a dollar mini cakes stand
sitting at Columbus till dusk
authentic bakery musk
walking up my five flights
sitting on my stoop at night
hot pot with white fish balls
nothing like my res hall
I spent so much time this week juggling the idea of not coming home all summer. And it may happen. I expect to be home for 5 days, after shanghai, beijing, and boston. oh man.
