Well, the United States is just as glorious as I remembered: Diet Cokes are served with ice, people speak English and Visa really is everywhere you want to be.
Not much has changed as far as I can tell. Rosie has gained about four pounds (something that is pretty significant for a dog who was only 10 pounds when I left) and she has gotten a tan. I didn't even know it was possible for dachshunds to get tan, but Rosie definitely has darker skin that when I left and I can only assume this is from all of her time outside on the farm.
There are some benefits to having left the country for the last two months. I missed the majority of pollen season. I'm not sick of the Britney Spears Piece of Me song yet. I've heard/seen enough ridiculous Obama and Clinton commercials in the last 24 hours to have me covered from the last two months. All of the magazines on a news rack in the airport were totally new to me. I don't think that's ever happened before. So, all in all, I feel good about the time gone.
Ok, so I've posted the pics from Hong Kong and China - the last photos from the trip. I'm a little depressed that it's my last posting. Of course, my depression could be coming from the fact that I had to post them from a coffee shop in Shelby because my parents' internet is so bad that I can't even access my email from their house. Hopefully my days of unemployment and living at home at 26 will not last for forever. I'm a little suspicious my parents have actually sabotaged the internet in an effort to make sure I don't get too comfortable with the free rent, board and pool time they've provided.

My guess is your cell phone doesn't work either in the back woods that you call Shelby. Otherwise I know you would have responded to my text about your best friend Merry Carlos!
