What I've been thinking...

Hello Everyone!

Cambodia went really well, and so did the last of Vietnam. I mostly just shopped some more, because everything there is insanely cheap. I don’t think I can express that enough. I bought all of the Star Wars movies for about $3, and a lot of my friends bought around 60 “Disney” movies for around twenty bucks. I have quotes there because the boxed set that the movies come in say that it’s a Disney collection, but it has movies in it like Shrek, Final Fantasy 7, and the Animatrix, which are clearly not Disney at all. The quality of the movies are pretty decent, but every once in a while something will be screwed up. I say a water puppet performance on the last day also, which I enjoyed. The puppets are made out of wood that floats on water and are controlled by puppeteers behind a curtain using metal rods. It’s pretty interesting how it all works.

On another note, I’ve been thinking a lot about my life. A lot of you know that I don’t know what I want to do after college, and I don’t even know what major I want to be. I’ve been hoping that this journey around the world would help me somehow to open up my eyes, and it has. I love traveling, and I want to help people. I’ve talked to a few of my new friends about a lot of things, and they’ve convinced me to join the Army after all of this is over. It would solve all of my money problems, allow me to travel the world, and I believe that I could help people. I know it may seem like a sudden decision, but I’ve been turning it over in my mind for a while. I haven’t decided what to do about college yet, whether I should finish it out with some major or not, but I’ll let everyone know when I think more about it.

I’ll update again sometime in China!
